1. Sam has a board that is 48 inches long and another that is 2 yards long. What is the total length in feet?
A) 8
B) 10
C) 12

48 inches = 4 feet. 2 yards = 6 feet. 4 + 6 = 10 feet.

3 kg = 3,000 g. 3,000 + 250 = 3,250 g.
3. Emma buys 2 gallons of juice and uses 3 quarts. How many quarts are left?

2 gallons = 8 quarts. 8 − 3 = 5 quarts remaining.

4 km = 4,000 m. 7,000 − 4,000 = 3,000 m remaining.
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the correct answer on each line.
1. A pool holds 500 gallons. That equals 2000 quarts.
1 gallon = 4 quarts. 500 × 4 = 2,000 quarts.
2. A bookshelf is 4 feet 3 inches tall. In inches, that is 51 inches.
4 feet = 48 inches. 48 + 3 = 51 inches.
3. 9,000 g − 2 kg = 7000 grams remaining
2 kg = 2,000 g. 9,000 − 2,000 = 7,000 g.
4. A rope is 10 yards long. In inches, that is 360 inches.
1 yard = 36 inches. 10 × 36 = 360 inches.
5. A jug holds 5 L. After pouring out 1,500 mL, there are 3500 mL left.
5 L = 5,000 mL. 5,000 − 1,500 = 3,500 mL.
