Heathens have measured things, and they have recorded their horrid heathen data in
Imperial System Units, for use in various ways. Using the conversion charts supplied to you,
convert the units in the following problems and save us from their torrid, toxic, telemetry. You
may use a calculator, but you must show your steps, and all work. This is individual work. Good
luck.

1. 2 yards:
a. Convert this to meters
2 | yrd | | 0.9144 | m | =1.8228m
| | yrd | | |
Cross out the yrd´s then multiply 0.9144 by 2 to get 1.8228

b. Convert this to centimeters

1.8228| m | | 100 | cm =182.28cm
| |m|
Cross out the m´s then multiply 1.8228 by 100 then add cm to the end of it.
2. 10 feet:
a. Convert this to meters
10 | ft | | | m = 3m
| | ft | 3.3 |
Cross out the ft then divide 10 by 3.3 then add the m

b. Convert this to centimeters

10 | ft | | 30.48 | cm = 304.8 or 3 | m | | 100 | cm = 300cm
| | ft | | | |m| |
First one you cross out the ft then multiply 10 by 30.48 then add cm
Second one you cross out m then multiply 3 by 100 then add cm
3. 12 yards:
a. Convert this to meters
12 | yrd | | 0.9144 | m = 10.9728m
| | yrd | |
Cross out the yrd´s then multiply 12 by 0.9144 add m to the end

b. Convert this to centimeters

10.9728 | m | | 100 | cm = 109.728cm
| |m| |
Cross out m then multiply 10.9828 by 100 then add cm to the end
4. 90 feet:
a. Convert this to meters
90 | ft | | | m = 27.27m
| ft | 3.3 |
Cross out ft divide 90 by 3.3 add m to the end
 b. Convert this to centimeters
27.27 | m | | 100 | cm = 272.7cm
| |m|
Cross out m, multiply 27.27 by 100 add cm to the end
5. 5 quarts:
a. Convert this to liters
5 | q | | 0.94631 | L = 4.73155L
| |q|
Cross out q multiply 5 by 0.946
b. Convert this to milliliters
1000 | mL | | 4.73155 | L = 4731.55mL
| |L| |
Cross out L, multiply 4.73155 by 1000 and add mL to the end.
6. 4 cups:
a. Convert this to liters
4 | c | | 0.47312 | L = 1.89248L
| |c| |
Convert cups to ounces convert to mL convert to L cross out c multiply 0.47312
by 4 add L to the end.
b. Convert this to milliliters
1.89248 | L | | 1000 | mL = 1892.48mL
| |L| |
Cross out L, multiply 1.89248 by 1000 and add mL to the end.
7. 10 ounces:
a. Convert this to grams
10 | onc | | 28.349375 | g = 283.49375g
| | onc | |
Convert ounces to pounds and there are 16 ounces in a pound and 453.59 grams in
a pound so if I divide 453.59 by 16 to get 28.349375. Cross out once then
multiply 10 by 28.349375 then add g to the end .
b. Convert this milligrams
283.49375 | g | | 1000 | mg = 283,493.75
| |g| |
Cross out g, multiply 283.49375 by 1000 then add mg to the end.
8. 5 gallons:
a. Convert this to liters
5 | gal | | 3.78524 | L = 18.9262L
| | gal | |
One liter is .94631 of a quart and there are 4 quarts in a gallon so multiply that by
4 to get that there are 3.78524 liters in a gallon. Cross gal multiply 5 by 3.78524
then add L to the end.
b. Convert this milliliters
 18.9262 | L | | 1000 | mL = 18926.2mL
| |L| |
Cross out L multiply 18.9262 by 1000 then add mL to the end.
9. 4 tons:
a. Convert this to kilograms
4 | ton | | 907.029 | Kg = 3628.117Kg
| | ton | |
There are 2.205 pounds in a Kg and there are 2000 pounds in a ton, divide 2000
by 2.2025 and that will tell you that there are 907.029 kg in a ton. Cross out ton
then multiply 4 by 907.029 then add Kg to the end.
b. Convert this to grams
3628.117 | Kg | | 1000 | g = 3,628,117.913g
| | Kg | |
Cross out Kg then multiply 3628.117 by 1000 then add g to the end.
