Tripp · Answer 2

Meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Miles are to big to measure the distance of a city block, and inches are too small.

If she were to use inches, the number of the measure would be too large, and not easy to imagine and of she were to use miles, it would be a little number (like a fraction or decimal number), that wouldn't be as easy to understand. Instead, using meters, the measurements wouldn't be too little or to big, they would be between 50 or 150 meters on average, so these are numbers more usable and practical.
