Measurement Conversions — Answer Key
Part A: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. 4 quarts = 8 pints
The answer is "8." Each quart contains 2 pints, so 4 quarts is 2 x 4 = 8 pints.
2. 9 kilograms = 9000 grams
The answer is "9000." One kilogram equals 1,000 grams, so 9 kilograms is 1,000 x 9 = 9,000 grams.
3. 5 gallons = 40 pints
The answer is "40." One gallon equals 8 pints, so 5 gallons is 8 x 5 = 40 pints.
4. 8,000 mL = 8 liters
The answer is "8." There are 1,000 milliliters in a liter, so divide 8,000 by 1,000 to get 8 liters.
5. 7 pounds = 112 ounces
The answer is "112." Since 1 pound equals 16 ounces, multiply 16 by 7 to get 112 ounces.
6. 16 cups = 4 quarts
The answer is "4." There are 4 cups in a quart, so divide 16 by 4 to get 4 quarts.
7. 11,000 grams = 11 kilograms
The answer is "11." There are 1,000 grams in a kilogram, so divide 11,000 by 1,000 to get 11 kilograms.
8. 12 pints = 24 cups
The answer is "24." Each pint holds 2 cups, so 12 pints is 2 x 12 = 24 cups.
9. 2 tons = 4000 pounds
The answer is "4000." One ton equals 2,000 pounds, so 2 tons is 2,000 x 2 = 4,000 pounds.
Part B: Matching
Match each item on the left to the correct answer on the right.
1. Match each item to its correct answer.
3 gallons
→ 48 cups
15,000 mL
4 kg
→ 4,000 g
24 cups
6 quarts
→ 24 cups
4,000 g
15 L
→ 15,000 mL
48 cups
Each conversion uses the correct factor: 3 x 16 = 48 cups, 4 x 1,000 = 4,000 g, 6 x 4 = 24 cups, and 15 x 1,000 = 15,000 mL.
