You go FAR in your CAR!!!!Measure distances that are far—from Charlotte to Disney!
YARDS
If it’s about the size
of your
BACKYARD…
Use Yards!
If it’s as big

INCH!
Measure to Nearest Inch
Measure to Nearest ½ Inch
Remember:You are counting by ½ inch pieces.
Your answer can be a whole number, or have “1/2” in it!
Measure to Nearest ½ Inch
The leaf is 3 inches long to nearest ½ inch.
The peanut is 1 ½ inches long to nearest ½ inch.
12 inches = 1 foot36 inches = 1 yard3 feet = 1 yard1,760 yards = 1 mile5,280 feet = 1 mile
Converting Measurements
• From Feet to Inches…
• You are putting the feet into GROUPS OF 12…
• Multiply!
7 feet = inchesHow many groups of 12 is
that?
7 x 12 in = 84 in
From Inches to FeetYou are dividing the feet into tiny inches so…
Divide!
60 in. = Feet
You are dividing 60 in. into groups of 12 in. so…
60 -/- 12 = 5 ft.
Converting Feet and InchesRemember that a foot is
12 inches!= 24 in
12 in. + 12 in.
2 ft. 4 inches = in.
12 in. + 12 in. = 24 in+ 4 in 28 in.
2 ft. 4 inches = 28 inches
62 inches = ____ feet ___in.
12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 =60 so… 5 ft.
62-60 = 2 in.62 in = 5ft 2 in
