World Markets (Mathematics Readers)

Some things are measured by weight, while others are measured by length. For example, markets in France have large blocks of cheese. Some people may want pieces of the block, so they use a scale to measure how much the pieces of cheese weigh. This helps them determine how much their pieces will cost. Markets in India sell fabric. Fabric is measured by length. Markets in China sell rice. Do you think they measure it by weight or by length? 32pp.
