This math page provides practice in converting between different customary units of measurement. Students will work on problems that require them to convert between pounds and ounces, yards and inches, feet and miles, pints and gallons, quarts and fluid ounces, pounds and tons, and other combinations of customary units. The worksheet emphasizes understanding conversion rates within the customary measurement system and develops skills in applying these conversions to calculate equivalent values. By completing this worksheet, students will reinforce their multiplication and division abilities. For example, to solve the problem of converting 9 pounds (lb) to ounces (oz), you need to know how many ounces are in one pound. There are 16 ounces in one pound. So, if you want to find out how many ounces are in 9 pounds, you can multiply the number of pounds by 16. Here's how you do it: 9 pounds times 16 ounces per pound equals 144 ounces. So, 9 pounds is the same as 144 ounces. Another example is to solve the math problem "16 pt = ________ gal". You need to know how many pints make a gallon. There are 8 pints in 1 gallon. To find out how many gallons 16 pints is, divide 16 by 8 because you want to see how many groups of 8 pints fit into 16 pints. So, 16 divided by 8 equals 2. This means that 16 pints is the same as 2 gallons. Therefore, 16 pt = 2 gal.
