Measurement Conversions — Answer Key
Part A: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. 10 yards = 30 feet
The answer is "30." Since 1 yard equals 3 feet, multiply 3 by 10 to get 30 feet.
2. 4,000 grams = 4 kilograms
The answer is "4." There are 1,000 grams in a kilogram, so divide 4,000 by 1,000 to get 4 kilograms.
3. 7 gallons = 28 quarts
The answer is "28." One gallon equals 4 quarts, so 7 gallons is 4 x 7 = 28 quarts.
4. 6,000 milliliters = 6 liters
The answer is "6." There are 1,000 milliliters in a liter, so divide 6,000 by 1,000 to get 6 liters.
5. 144 inches = 12 feet
The answer is "12." Since 1 foot equals 12 inches, divide 144 by 12 to get 12 feet.
6. 3 tons = 6000 pounds
The answer is "6000." One ton equals 2,000 pounds, so 3 tons is 2,000 x 3 = 6,000 pounds.
7. 50 centimeters = 500 millimeters
The answer is "500." Each centimeter contains 10 millimeters, so 50 centimeters is 10 x 50 = 500 millimeters.
8. 10 pints = 5 quarts
The answer is "5." Since 2 pints make 1 quart, divide 10 by 2 to get 5 quarts.
9. 14 kilometers = 14000 meters
The answer is "14000." One kilometer equals 1,000 meters, so 14 kilometers is 1,000 x 14 = 14,000 meters.
Part B: Matching
Match each item on the left to the correct answer on the right.
1. Match each item to its correct answer.
8 feet
→ 96 inches
10,000 mL
2 tons
→ 4,000 lb
4,000 lb
10 L
→ 10,000 mL
15 feet
5 yards
→ 15 feet
96 inches
Each conversion uses the correct factor: 8 x 12 = 96 inches, 2 x 2,000 = 4,000 lb, 10 x 1,000 = 10,000 mL, and 5 x 3 = 15 feet.
