Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: Conversion Word Problems worksheet
Here are the step-by-step solutions for each problem on the worksheet.

1) Pounds to Ounces
* Goal: Convert 450 ounces into pounds.
* Rule: 1 pound = 16 ounces.
* Step: Since you are going from a smaller unit (ounces) to a larger unit (pounds), you divide.
$$450 \div 16 = 28.125$$
* Result: There are 28.125 pounds.

2) Minutes to Hours
* Goal: Convert 420 minutes into hours.
* Rule: 1 hour = 60 minutes.
* Step: Divide the total minutes by 60.
$$420 \div 60 = 7$$
* Result: It takes 7 hours.

3) Feet to Meters
* Goal: Convert 40 feet into meters.
* Rule: 1 ft = 0.3048 meters.
* Step: Multiply the number of feet by the conversion factor.
$$40 \times 0.3048 = 12.192$$
* Result: The land is 12.192 meters long.

4) Milliliters to Cubic Centimeters
* Goal: Convert 5 mL into cc's.
* Rule: 1 mL = 1 cc.
* Step: Since the ratio is 1 to 1, the number stays exactly the same.
$$5 \times 1 = 5$$
* Result: There are 5 cc's.

5) Celsius to Fahrenheit
* Goal: Convert $15^\circ\text{C}$ to Fahrenheit.
* Formula: $F = C \times (9/5) + 32$
* Step 1: Plug in 15 for C.
$$15 \times (9/5) + 32$$
* Step 2: Do the multiplication first. $15 \times 9 = 135$, and $135 \div 5 = 27$. (Or simply: $15 \div 5 = 3$, and $3 \times 9 = 27$).
$$27 + 32$$
* Step 3: Add 32.
$$27 + 32 = 59$$
* Result: The temperature is $59^\circ\text{F}$.

6) Meters to Centimeters
* Goal: Convert 1.2 meters into cm.
* Rule: 1 m = 100 cm.
* Step: Multiply the meters by 100. When you multiply by 100, move the decimal point two spots to the right.
$$1.2 \times 100 = 120$$
* Result: The paper is 120 cm long.
