If a waveform on an oscilloscope covers 6 divisions and the time per division is set to 1 ms, what is the total duration?

To determine the total duration of the waveform displayed on the oscilloscope, you'll need to multiply the number of divisions the waveform covers by the time setting per division.

In this scenario, the waveform covers 6 divisions, and each division represents a time span of 1 millisecond (ms). By performing the calculation:

6 divisions * 1 ms/division = 6 ms,

you find that the total duration of the waveform is indeed 6 milliseconds. This straightforward multiplication illustrates how the oscilloscope settings directly inform the interpretation of the waveform's timing characteristics. The choice that reflects this calculation is therefore the correct answer.
