Let's solve each conversion step by step using
customary units of length in the U.S. measurement system.
---
🔹 1 yard (yd) = ? feet (ft)
We know:
✔ 1 yard = 3 feet
So, for
1 yd, the correct answer is:
✔️
3 ft → already marked
✔
Other options:
- 6 ft → too big (that’s 2 yards)
- 5 ft → not a standard conversion
- 2 ft → less than 1 yard
✔ Correct: 3 ft
---
🔹 1 mile (mi) = ? yards (yd)
We know:
✔ 1 mile = 1,760 yards
So, for
1 mi, the correct answer is:
✔️
1,760 yd
Other options:
- 100 yd → way too small
- 3,520 yd → that’s 2 miles
- 2,000 yd → close but not exact
✔ Correct: 1,760 yd
---
🔹 5 feet (ft) = ? inches (in)
We know:
✔ 1 foot = 12 inches
So, 5 ft = 5 × 12 =
60 inches
So, for
5 ft, the correct answer is:
✔️
60 in
Other options:
- 12 in → 1 ft
- 10 in → less than 1 ft
- 70 in → too much (5 ft 10 in)
✔ Correct: 60 in
---
🔹 3 feet (ft) = ? yards (yd)
We know:
✔ 3 feet = 1 yard
So, for
3 ft, the correct answer is:
✔️
1 yd
Other options:
- 300 yd → way too big
- 100 yd → still too big
- 3 yd → that’s 9 ft
✔ Correct: 1 yd
---
🔹 7,040 yards (yd) = ? miles (mi)
We know:
✔ 1 mile = 1,760 yards
So, divide:
7,040 ÷ 1,760 =
4
Because:
1,760 × 4 = 7,040
So, for
7,040 yd, the correct answer is:
✔️
4 mi
Other options:
- 2 mi → 3,520 yd
- 3 mi → 5,280 yd
- 1 mi → 1,760 yd
✔ Correct: 4 mi
---
✔ Final Answers:
| Given Length | Correct Conversion |
|--------------|--------------------|
| 1 yd | ✔️ 3 ft |
| 1 mi | ✔️ 1,760 yd |
| 5 ft | ✔️ 60 in |
| 3 ft | ✔️ 1 yd |
| 7,040 yd | ✔️ 4 mi |
---
📌 Summary:
Mark the following boxes:
-
✔ 3 ft (for 1 yd)
-
✔ 1,760 yd (for 1 mi)
-
✔ 60 in (for 5 ft)
-
✔ 1 yd (for 3 ft)
-
✔ 4 mi (for 7,040 yd)
All others are incorrect.
✔ Done!
