DATA
Customary units can be used when
measuring length, capacity, and weight.
1 foot (ft) = 12 inches (in.)
Length
1 yard (yd) = 3 ft = 36 in.
DATA
1 mile (mi) = 1,760 yd = 5,280 ft
1 cup (c) = 8 fluid ounces (fl oz)
1 pint (pt) = 2 c = 16 fl oz
Capacity
1 quart (qt) = 2 pt = 4 c
DATA
1 gallon (gal) = 4 qt = 8 pt
1 pound (lb) = 16 ounces (oz)
Weight
1 ton (T) = 2,000 lb
Convert 26 quarts to cups.

DATA
Metric units are commonly used by
scientists to measure length, capacity,
and mass.
1 centimeter (cm) = 10 millimeters (mm)
Length
1 meter (m) = 100 cm = 1,000 mm
1 kilometer (km) = 1,000 m
Remember metric units can be converted
using multiples of 10. Use the conversion
charts to help.

The perimeter of Ted’s pool is 16 yards. The
pool is 3 yards wide. He has a 150-square
foot plastic cover. Is Ted’s plastic cover large
enough to cover his pool?
Remember to label your answer with the
appropriate unit.
1. Find n.
P = 108 inches
Use the formula for perimeter to find the
length. Substitute the numbers you know.
Perimeter = (2 × /) + (2 × w)
16 = (2 × /) + (2 × 3)
/=5
The length of the pool is 5 yards.
Convert yards to feet.
3 yards wide × 3 feet = 9 feet wide
18 inches

2. Find the area.
A=

9m
3. Find the perimeter of the square.
5 yards long × 3 feet = 15 feet long
A = 15 × 9
A = 135
2 12 yards
The area of the pool is 135 square feet.
135 6 150, so Ted’s plastic cover is large
enough to cover his pool.

Think about these questions to help you
be precise.
Thinking Habits
• Am I using numbers, units,
and symbols appropriately?
Remember to give an explanation that is clear
and appropriate.
A puppy pen is 4 feet wide and 5 feet long.
1. Is 21 square feet of fabric large enough
to make a mat for the pen? Explain.
• Am I using the correct
definitions?
• Am I calculating accurately?
•Is my answer clear?

2. Puppy fencing comes in sizes that are
12 feet, 24 feet, and 30 feet in length.
Which length would be the best for the
pen? How much, if any, will have to be
cut off to fit the pen?
