1. Standard and Metric Units of Measurement Length, Capacity and Weight

2. Standard or Customary Measurements of Length  Length is measured in inches, feet, yards and miles.  1 mile is equal to 1,760 yards (yd) and 5, 280 feet(ft)  1 yard (yd) is equal to 3 feet(ft) or 36 inches(in)  1 foot(ft) is equal to 12 inches(in)

3. Standard or Customary Measurement of Capacity  Capacity is measured in gallons, quarts, pints, cups and ounces.  I gallon(gal) is equal to 4 quarts(qt)  1 quart(qt) is equal to 2 pints(pt)  1 pint(pt) is equal to 2 cups (c)  1 cup(c) is equal to 8 ounces(oz.)

4. Standard or Customary Measurement of Weight  Weight is measured in tons, pounds and ounces.  1 ton is equal to 2,000 pounds (lb)  1 pound is equal to 16 ounces (oz)

5. Metric Measurement for Length  Length is measured in kilometers(km), hectometers(Hm), dekameters(Dm), meters(m), decimeters(dm), centimeters(cm) and millimeters(mm).

6. Metric Measurement for Capacity  Capacity is measured in kiloliters(kl), hectoliters(HL), dekaliters(DL), liters(l), deciliter(dl), centiliter(cl) and milliliter(ml).

7. Metric Measurement for Weight  Weight is measured in kilograms (kg), hectograms(Hg), dekagrams(Dg), grams (g), decigrams(dg), centigrams(cg) and milligrams (mg).

8. Both Standard and Metric Measurement  To convert a large unit of measurement to a smaller unit, you will multiply.  For Example: 10 feet = ________inches  10 x 12 (inches per foot) = 120 inches To convert a small unit of measurement to a larger unit, you will divide.  For Example: 25 cm = ________ meters  25 ÷ 0.01 (centimeters per meter) = 0.25 meters

9. Try it!  Convert 6 gallons to pints.  Convert 48 ounces to pounds  Convert 4 kilograms to grams  Convert 30 meters to millimeter  Convert 8 yards to feet  Convert 12 cups to quarts  Convert 800 centiliters to liters
