1. A water bottle holds 500 milliliters. How many bottles are needed to fill a 3-liter container?
A) 5 bottles
B) 6 bottles
C) 8 bottles
D) 15 bottles
3 liters = 3,000 mL. 3,000 ÷ 500 = 6 bottles.

A) 2,040 meters
B) 240 meters
C) 2,400 meters
D) 24,000 meters
2 km = 2,000 m. 2,000 + 400 = 2,400 meters total.
3. A baker uses 14 ounces of sugar per batch of cookies. How many full batches can he make from 5 pounds of sugar?
A) 4 batches
B) 6 batches
C) 5 batches
D) 3 batches
5 pounds = 80 ounces. 80 ÷ 14 = 5 remainder 10. So 5 full batches.
4. Sam drinks 3 pints of water each day. How many gallons does he drink in 8 days?
A) 4 gallons
B) 6 gallons
C) 2 gallons
D) 3 gallons
3 pints/day × 8 days = 24 pints. 24 pints ÷ 8 pints/gallon = 3 gallons.
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the correct answer on each line.
1. A fence is 15 yards long. That equals 45 feet.
1 yard = 3 feet. 15 × 3 = 45 feet.
2. A fish weighs 2,500 grams. That equals 2.5 kilograms (use decimal).
1 kg = 1,000 g. 2,500 ÷ 1,000 = 2.5 kilograms.
3. A pitcher holds 2 quarts. That equals 8 cups.
1 quart = 2 pints = 4 cups. 2 quarts × 4 cups = 8 cups.
4. A ribbon is 3 meters long. That equals 300 centimeters.
1 meter = 100 centimeters. 3 × 100 = 300 centimeters.
5. A bag of flour weighs 4 kilograms. That equals 4,000 grams.
1 kilogram = 1,000 grams. 4 × 1,000 = 4,000 grams.
