Asked by Lauren

Can you check to see if my answers are correct. If wrong please explain why.

1. 3 ft = 36
L - S x (largest to smallest)
THINK: 1 ft = 12 in

2. 72 in = 2 yd
THINK: 36 in = 1 yd
S - L / (/ means divide)

3. 93 ft. = 31 yd
THINK: 3 ft = 1 yd
S - L /

4. 500 yd = 1500 ft
THINK: 1 yd = 3 ft.
L - S x

5. 84 in = 84 ft.
THINK: 12 in = 1 ft
S - L /

6. 9 ft = 108 in
THINK: 1 ft = 12 in
L - S x

7. 5 mi = 8750 yd
THINK: 1 mi = 1, 750
L - S x

8. 52,800 ft. = 52,800 mi
THINK: 5,280 ft = 1 mi
S - L /

9. 144 in = 144 ft
THINK: 12 in = 1 ft
S - L /


Are these correct???????????
Answered by Ms. Sue
5, 7, 8, and 9 are wrong.

Please rethink these problems.

Note that 1 mile = 1,760 yards.

Answered by Lauren
Ok. When I'm done fixing those problems then I'll post it to see if I'm correct.

5. 84 in = 7 ft.
THINK: 12 in = 1 ft
S - L /

7. 5 mi = 8800 yd
THINK: 1 mi = 1, 750
L - S x


8. 52,800 ft. = 10 mi
THINK: 5,280 ft = 1 mi
S - L /

9. 144 in = 2 ft
THINK: 12 in = 1 ft
S - L /

Is my answers are correct?????
Answered by Lauren
i mean 1 mi - 1, 760

srry about that

are these all correct???
Answered by Ms. Sue
All are correct except for 9.

Answered by Lauren
OK.

To change from smaller units to larger units, DIVIDE.

15 ft = 5 yd
THINK: 1 ft = 12 in
4 x 12 = 48
4 ft = 48 in

That was an example.

I divide 144 by 12 which is 2.
Answered by Ms. Sue
Right.

Lauren -- you initially missed 4 of 9 problems. Those were mostly careless errors. That is not acceptable for an A student!!

Answered by Lauren
How come is wrong???? I'm pretty sure it's correct.
Answered by Lauren
Wait a second I wasn't guesting or putting careless answer that what I thought it was because I got a bit confused!!!!!!!!!
Answered by Ms. Sue
How can you divide 144 by 12 and get 2?
