Respuesta :

Answer:- D is the right answer. 'Feet' is most appropriate unit to measure this distance.


Explanation:-

Given distance =.

[tex]=8.5\times10^{-2}\text{ miles}=\frac{8.5}{100}\text{ miles}=0.085\text{ miles}[/tex]

We know that the units of length near to the mile is kilometers and feetsuch that 1 mile = 1.6093 km

1 mile = 5280 feet

Thus 'feet' is most appropriate unit to measure this distance.
