Converting Measurements — Answer Key
Part A: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. 32 cups = 2 gallons
There are 16 cups in 1 gallon, so divide 32 ÷ 16 = 2 gallons.
2. 3.25 meters = 325 centimeters
Multiply 3.25 × 100 = 325 centimeters because each meter has 100 centimeters.
3. 9 pints = 4 quarts 1 pint (write as: 4 r 1)
Divide 9 ÷ 2 = 4 remainder 1, because 2 pints make 1 quart. That gives 4 quarts with 1 pint remaining.
4. 8,400 meters = 8.4 kilometers (use decimal)
Divide 8,400 ÷ 1,000 = 8.4 kilometers since there are 1,000 meters in every kilometer.
5. 6 pounds 10 ounces = 106 ounces
Convert 6 pounds to ounces: 6 × 16 = 96 ounces, then add the remaining 10 ounces for 96 + 10 = 106 ounces.
6. 4,500 milliliters = 4.5 liters (use decimal)
Divide 4,500 ÷ 1,000 = 4.5 liters because 1 liter = 1,000 milliliters.
7. 11 quarts = 2 gallons 3 quarts (write as: 2 r 3)
Divide 11 ÷ 4 = 2 remainder 3, because 4 quarts make 1 gallon. That gives 2 gallons with 3 quarts left over.
8. 200 seconds = 3 minutes 20 seconds (write as: 3 r 20)
Divide 200 ÷ 60 = 3 remainder 20, because there are 60 seconds in a minute. That gives 3 minutes and 20 seconds.
9. 1.5 tons = 3,000 pounds
Multiply 1.5 × 2,000 = 3,000 pounds because 1 ton equals 2,000 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.
24 cups
→ 1.5 gallons
6 minutes
3,500 grams
→ 3.5 kilograms
3.5 kilograms
7 yards
→ 21 feet
1.5 gallons
360 seconds
→ 6 minutes
21 feet
Correct matches: 24 cups → 1.5 gallons; 3,500 grams → 3.5 kilograms; 7 yards → 21 feet; 360 seconds → 6 minutes.
