1. Measurements

2. Weight: Standard Measurements
16 ounces = 1 pound
2000 lbs = 1 ton

3. So , how would we convert 5 lbs. 6 oz to ounces?
5 x 16 = 80
80 oz + 6 oz = 86 oz

4. What if we wanted to convert 344 oz to pounds?
This means we have , 21 lbs and 8 oz

5. A car weighs 5,000 lbs. How many tons is that?
2,000 lbs = 1 ton
So, 5,000 / 2,000 = 2.5 tons

6. U.S Measurement Lengths
foot
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

7. How many yards is 2miles? We are stretching numbers, so we multiply
1,760 x 2 = 3,520 yds
How many ft in 2 miles
5,280 x 2 = 10,560 ft

8. What if you had to figure how many miles in 11,440 yards
Now you are shrinking the number you want
11,440 / 1760 yards = 6.5 miles

9. 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

10. How to remember some of this!
1 gallon = 4 quarts = 8 pints =16 cups
Is there any pattern there?
Just remember there are 4 quarts to a gallon
Then double it for pints
And double that for cups

11. How many qts, pints, cups in 3 gallons of tropical mango Gatorade
3 x 4 qts = 12 gallons
Double the 12 to get 24 pints
Then double the 24 to get 48 cups

12. Thanks for paying attention
I’ll bring some free Gatorade next time.
