Let’s go through each conversion one by one. We’ll use standard U.S. customary unit conversions (even though the title says “Metric,” these are actually U.S. units — we’ll solve them as shown).
---
1. 4 ft = ? in
We know: 1 foot = 12 inches
So, 4 feet = 4 × 12 =
48 inches
---
2. 2 yd = ? ft
We know: 1 yard = 3 feet
So, 2 yards = 2 × 3 =
6 feet
---
3. 1 mi = ? yd
We know: 1 mile = 1760 yards
So, 1 mile =
1760 yards
---
4. 3 yd = ? in
First, convert yards to feet: 3 yd = 3 × 3 = 9 ft
Then, convert feet to inches: 9 ft = 9 × 12 =
108 inches
---
5. 2 lb = ? oz
We know: 1 pound = 16 ounces
So, 2 pounds = 2 × 16 =
32 ounces
---
6. 1 gal = ? qt
We know: 1 gallon = 4 quarts
So, 1 gallon =
4 quarts
---
7. 36 qt = ? gal
Since 1 gallon = 4 quarts, divide quarts by 4:
36 ÷ 4 =
9 gallons
---
8. 1 pt = ? cp
Assuming “cp” means cups (common abbreviation), and we know:
1 pint = 2 cups
So, 1 pt =
2 cp
---
9. 1 qt = ? cp
We know: 1 quart = 4 cups
So, 1 qt =
4 cp
---
10. 80 oz = ? lb
We know: 16 ounces = 1 pound
So, divide 80 by 16: 80 ÷ 16 =
5 pounds
---
Final Answer:
4 ft = 48 in
2 yd = 6 ft
1 mi = 1760 yd
3 yd = 108 in
2 lb = 32 oz
1 gal = 4 qt
36 qt = 9 gal
1 pt = 2 cp
1 qt = 4 cp
80 oz = 5 lb
