Measurements

Weight:Standard Measurements

16 ounces = 1 pound2000 lbs = 1 ton

So , how would we convert 5 lbs. 6 oz to ounces?

5 x 16 = 80 80 oz + 6 oz = 86 oz

What if we wanted to convert 344 oz to pounds?

344 / 16 = 21 R 8

This means we have , 21 lbs and 8 oz

A car weighs 5,000 lbs.How many tons is that?

2,000 lbs = 1 tonSo, 5,000 / 2,000 = 2.5 tons

U.S Measurement Lengthsfoot yard=3 feet eighth mile = 220 yards = 660 feet quarter mile = 440 yards = 1320 feet half mile = 880 yards = 2640 feet mile = 1760 yards = 5280 feet

How many yards is 2miles?

We are stretching numbers, so we multiply

1,760 x 2 = 3,520 ydsHow many ft in 2 miles5,280 x 2 = 10,560 ft

What if you had to figure how many miles in 11,440 yards

Now you are shrinking the number you want11,440 / 1760 yards = 6.5 miles

U.S. volume units are used to measure liquid

Teaspoons Tablespoon = 3 teaspoons Fluid ounce = 2 tablespoons, 6 teaspoons Cup = 8 fluid ounces, 16 tablespoons Pint = 2 cups, 16 fluid ounces Quart = 2 pints, 4 cups Gallon = 4 quarts, 8 pints, 16 cups

How to remember some of this!

1 gallon = 4 quarts = 8 pints =16 cupsIs there any pattern there?Just remember there are 4 quarts to a gallonThen double it for pintsAnd double that for cups

How many qts, pints, cups in 3 gallons of tropical mango Gatorade

3 x 4 qts = 12 gallonsDouble the 12 to get 24 pintsThen double the 24 to get 48 cups

Thanks for paying attention

I’ll bring some free Gatorade next time.
