Converting Measurements — Answer Key
Part A: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. 2 feet 5 inches = 29 inches
2 feet = 24 inches. 24 + 5 = 29 inches total.
2. 50 inches = 4 feet 2 inches (write as: 4 r 2)
50 ÷ 12 = 4 remainder 2. So 50 inches = 4 feet 2 inches.
3. 3 gallons 2 quarts = 14 quarts
3 gallons = 12 quarts. 12 + 2 = 14 quarts total.
4. 5 pounds 8 ounces = 88 ounces
5 pounds = 80 ounces. 80 + 8 = 88 ounces total.
5. 10 quarts = 2 gallons 2 quarts (write as: 2 r 2)
10 ÷ 4 = 2 remainder 2. So 10 quarts = 2 gallons 2 quarts.
6. 100 ounces = 6 pounds 4 ounces (write as: 6 r 4)
100 ÷ 16 = 6 remainder 4. So 100 ounces = 6 pounds 4 ounces.
7. 2 yards 1 foot = 7 feet
2 yards = 6 feet. 6 + 1 = 7 feet total.
8. 7 pints = 3 quarts 1 pints (write as: 3 r 1)
7 ÷ 2 = 3 remainder 1. So 7 pints = 3 quarts 1 pint.
9. 1 mile = 1,760 yards
1 mile = 5,280 feet = 1,760 yards (since 5,280 ÷ 3 = 1,760).
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 tons

5 pints
4 feet
→ 48 inches
6,000 pounds
10 cups
