Let's convert the units for each of the measurement problems first:
1. **4 pts = _____ c**
- Answer: 4 pts = 0.5 c (1 cup = 8 fluid ounces, 1 pint = 2 cups, so 4 pts = 4 x 2 = 8 cups, and 1 cup = 8 fluid ounces = 4 * (1/2) = 0.5)
2. **1 yd = _____ in**
- Answer: 1 yd = 36 in (1 yard = 36 inches)
3. **80 oz = _____ lbs**
- Answer: 80 oz = 5 lbs (1 pound = 16 ounces, so 80 oz / 16 oz/lb = 5 lbs)
4. **3,000 mL = _____ L**
- Answer: 3,000 mL = 3 L (1 liter = 1,000 mL)
5. **500 cm = _____ m**
- Answer: 500 cm = 5 m (1 meter = 100 centimeters)
6. **8 g = _____ mg**
- Answer: 8 g = 8,000 mg (1 gram = 1,000 milligrams)
Now for the last question about Alinah's ropes:
Alinah needs **6 feet** of rope. We need to convert the lengths of her ropes to feet to see if she has enough.
- 1 piece of rope is **18 inches**:
- Conversion: 18 inches × (1 foot / 12 inches) = 1.5 feet
- Another rope is **1 yard**:
- Conversion: 1 yard × (3 feet / 1 yard) = 3 feet
- Her last rope is **2 feet**:
- It is already in feet, so it remains 2 feet.
Now, let's add all the lengths of the ropes together:
Total length of ropes = 1.5 feet + 3 feet + 2 feet = 6.5 feet
Since Alinah needs **6 feet** of rope and she has **6.5 feet** of rope, **Yes, she has enough rope** for her project. She has an additional 0.5 feet of rope beyond what she needs.
1. **4 pts = _____ c**
- Answer: 4 pts = 0.5 c (1 cup = 8 fluid ounces, 1 pint = 2 cups, so 4 pts = 4 x 2 = 8 cups, and 1 cup = 8 fluid ounces = 4 * (1/2) = 0.5)
2. **1 yd = _____ in**
- Answer: 1 yd = 36 in (1 yard = 36 inches)
3. **80 oz = _____ lbs**
- Answer: 80 oz = 5 lbs (1 pound = 16 ounces, so 80 oz / 16 oz/lb = 5 lbs)
4. **3,000 mL = _____ L**
- Answer: 3,000 mL = 3 L (1 liter = 1,000 mL)
5. **500 cm = _____ m**
- Answer: 500 cm = 5 m (1 meter = 100 centimeters)
6. **8 g = _____ mg**
- Answer: 8 g = 8,000 mg (1 gram = 1,000 milligrams)
