1 CONFIDENTIAL 1 Good Afternoon! Today we will be learning about Simple conversions with Customary Units Let’s warm up : What unit would you use to measure the weight for each? 1) A story book. 2) A dog. 3) A paper napkin. 4) A bag of apples. 1) pound 2) kg 3) ounce 4) pound

2 CONFIDENTIAL2 Let’s review what we did in the previous chapter WEIGHT: It is a customary measurement that tells how heavy an object is. Like, we can say that: The dog’s weight is equal to 12 pounds. An ounces (oz) is used to measure weight in the customary system.

3 CONFIDENTIAL3 Review  The cat’s weight is 9 pounds.  A strawberry’s weight is 1 ounce (oz).  A pineapple’s weight is 1 pound (lb).  A car’s weight is 1 ton (T).

4 CONFIDENTIAL4 Review When measuring capacity in the customary system the common units used are Ounces, pound, and ton. From smallest to greatest capacity measurements are compared as: Ounces, pound and ton.

5 CONFIDENTIAL5 Review Customary Units of Weight 16 ounces (oz) = 1 pound (lb) 2,000 pounds (lb) = 1 ton (T) Customary Units use to measure the weight are:

6 CONFIDENTIAL6 Review Which is more reasonable for the weight of a bag of oranges – 1 pound or 1 ounce? A bag of oranges is too large to weigh an ounce. An ounce would be the weight of something very light. So, measuring in terms of pound would be more appropriate.

7 CONFIDENTIAL7 Today we will learn about the Simple conversions with Customary Units. CONVERT: Change from one unit to another, such as from feet to inches. Change Larger to Smaller units To change to a smaller unit, multiply. Example: How many inches are in 6 feet? 12 inches = 1 foot 6 feet = 6 x 12 = 72 inches

8 CONFIDENTIAL8 Change Smaller to Larger units To change to a Larger unit, divide. Example: How many feet is 48 inches? 1 foot = 12 inches 48 inches = 48 ÷ 12 = 4 feet

12 CONFIDENTIAL12 Convert Gallons to Quarts To change to a smaller unit, multiply. Example: How many Quarts is 4 gallons? We are given, 4 gallons = __ quarts 4 x 4 = 16 4 gallons = 16 quarts 4 gallons is equal to 16 quarts.

13 CONFIDENTIAL13 Convert Ounces to Pounds To change to a Larger unit, divide. Example: How many Pounds is 560 ounces? We are given, 560 ounces = __ Pounds 560 ÷ 16 = 35 560 ounces = 35 Pounds 560 ounces is equal to 35 Pounds.

14 CONFIDENTIAL14 Convert tons to pounds To change to a smaller unit, multiply. Example: How many Pounds is 2 tons? We are given, 2 tons = __ pounds 2 x 2,000 = 4,000 2 tons = 4,000 pounds 2 tons is equal to 4,000 pounds.

20 CONFIDENTIAL20 Very Good! Let's Review CONVERT: Change from one unit to another, such as from feet to inches. Change Larger to Smaller units To change to a smaller unit, multiply. Example: How many inches are in 6 feet? 12 inches = 1 foot 6 feet = 6 x 12 = 72 inches Change Smaller to Larger units To change to a smaller unit, divide. Example: How many feet is 48 inches? 1 foot = 12 inches 48 inches = 48 ÷ 12 = 4 feet
