  1. Customary MeasurementLength, Capacity, and Weight

  2. Measurement Rules 1.) When converting large units (mile) to a smaller unit (in). The rule is we multiply. 2 mile _______ in First convert miles to feet 5280 ft = 1 mile 5280 x 2 = 10,560ft Next, convert ft to inches 12in = 1 ft. 10,560 x 12 = 126,720 So, 2mile = 126,720

  3. Measurement Rules 1.) When converting smaller units (oz) to a larger unit (lb). The rule is we divide. 64 oz _______ lb 16 oz = 1 lb Therefore, 64 ÷ 16 = 4 So, 64 oz = 4 lb So, 2mile = 126,720

  4. Customary Length • 12 inches (in) = 1 foot (ft) • 36 inches = 3 feet or 1 yard (yd) • 5,280 feet = 1 mile (mi) To change from a larger unit of measure to a smaller unit, MULTIPLY. To change from a smaller unit of measure to a larger unit, DIVIDE.

  5. Customary Length • 12 inches (in) = 1 foot (ft) • 36 inches = 3 feet or 1 yard (yd) • 5,280 feet = 1 mile (mi) To change from a larger unit of measure to a smaller unit, MULTIPLY. To change from a smaller unit of measure to a larger unit, DIVIDE.

  11. Customary Capacity • 4 quarts = 1 gallon (gal) • 2 pints = 1 quart (qt) • 2 cups = 1 pint (pt) • 8 fluid ounces (fl oz) = 1 cup (c) To change from a larger unit of measure to a smaller unit, MULTIPLY. To change from a smaller unit of measure to a larger unit, DIVIDE.

  12. Copy this in your booklet page 12 Customary Weight • 16 ounces (oz) = 1 pound (lb) • 2,000 pounds = 1 ton (T) To change from a larger unit of measure to a smaller unit, MULTIPLY. To change from a smaller unit of measure to a larger unit, DIVIDE.

  13. Customary Weight • 16 ounces (oz) = 1 pound (lb) • 2,000 pounds = 1 ton (T) To change from a larger unit of measure to a smaller unit, MULTIPLY. To change from a smaller unit of measure to a larger unit, DIVIDE.
