Standard Measurement Standard Measurement System (US Customary) Converting From One Unit of Measurement to Another What happens if you are given a measurement in one unit, but need to use it in another? For example, you are baking cupcakes, and the recipe calls for 4 cups of oil. The bottle of oil says that it contains 3 pints. How do you know if you have enough oil? In order to find out, you would need to do something called converting. You need to convert the unit of cups to the unit of pints. 7
Cups and Pints There are 2 cups in every pint. + = 1 cup 1 cup 1 pint 8
Cups and Pints So how many cups are there in 3 pints? + = 1 cup 1 cup 1 pint + = 1 cup 1 cup 1 pint + = 1 cup 1 cup 1 pint 3 pints 2 cups x 3 pints = 6 cups in 3 pints 9
Converting Measurement When converting measurements, use your arms to help you. We can spread our arms out wide to show that something is bigger. We can fold our arms in a hug to show that something is smaller. To convert a smaller unit to a larger unit, we divide the amount. To convert a larger unit to a smaller unit, we multiply the amount. 10
Conversions Troy has 6 popsicles that are 5 in long each. If he places them all in a line, how many feet would they be? 5 in + 5 in + 5 in + 5 in + 5 in + 5 in = 30 in How many feet are 30 in? We are going from inches to feet, so we are converting a smaller unit to a larger unit. Therefore, we need to. 30 in X or = ft in (# of inches in a foot) 11
Conversions Another example: I bought a set of 4 glasses from the market. A glass weighs 8 ounces. How many pounds does the set weigh? Find the total ounces: oz x glasses = oz. We are going from ounces to pounds so we are converting a smaller unit to a larger unit. Therefore, we need to. 32 oz X or = (# of oz in a lb) lbs 12
Fractional Measurements How can we write measurements using fractions? Think about what half a foot is in inches. If a foot is 12 in, then 1/2 a foot 12 2. So, half a foot is 6 in. How many inches is a foot and a half? A foot and a half is 12 x 1.5. So, a foot and a half is 18 in. How many feet are there in 30 inches? 30 12 = 2.5 So, there are 2 1/2 feet in 30 inches. 13

Volume of a Solid with Unit Cubes So far we have found the volume of right rectangular prisms by counting unit cubes. We can also find the area by thinking of layering unit cubes. Think of the base as the bottom layer. 75
