Units of Measurement: Inches, Feet, and Yards | Interactive ... - Free Printable

Let’s solve each problem step by step. We’ll use the conversion facts given at the top:

- 1 foot (ft) = 12 inches (in)
- 1 yard (yd) = 3 feet (ft)
- 1 yard (yd) = 36 inches (in)

Part 1: Find the equivalent measurement

We’ll go row by row.

Row 1:
1. 12 in. = ___ ft.
Since 12 in = 1 ft → 1 ft

2. 36 in. = ___ yd.
Since 36 in = 1 yd → 1 yd

3. 24 in. = ___ ft.
12 in = 1 ft, so 24 ÷ 12 = 2 → 2 ft

Row 2:
4. 36 in. = ___ ft.
36 ÷ 12 = 3 → 3 ft

5. 2 yd. = ___ ft.
1 yd = 3 ft, so 2 × 3 = 6 → 6 ft

6. 15 ft. = ___ yd.
3 ft = 1 yd, so 15 ÷ 3 = 5 → 5 yd

Row 3:
7. 4 yd. = ___ ft.
4 × 3 = 12 → 12 ft

8. 3 yd. = ___ in.
1 yd = 36 in, so 3 × 36 = 108 → 108 in

9. 30 ft. = ___ yd.
30 ÷ 3 = 10 → 10 yd

Row 4:
10. 7 ft. = ___ in.
7 × 12 = 84 → 84 in

11. 45 ft. = ___ yd.
45 ÷ 3 = 15 → 15 yd

12. 12 ft. = ___ in.
12 × 12 = 144 → 144 in

Row 5:
13. 4 yd. = ___ in.
4 × 36 = 144 → 144 in

14. 20 yd. = ___ ft.
20 × 3 = 60 → 60 ft

15. 50 yd. = ___ ft.
50 × 3 = 150 → 150 ft

Part 2: Solve each problem

Problem 6: Sal is 5 feet tall. What is his height in inches?
5 ft × 12 in/ft = 60 inches

Problem 7: Bob ran 12 yards. What is the distance in feet?
12 yd × 3 ft/yd = 36 feet

Problem 8: Amy has 6 feet of fabric. How much fabric does she have in inches?
6 ft × 12 in/ft = 72 inches

Problem 9: Sue’s pool is 24 feet wide. What is the width in yards?
24 ft ÷ 3 ft/yd = 8 yards

Problem 10: Both Lia and Jamie are 4 feet 6 inches tall. What is their combined height in yards?

First, find one person’s height in inches:
4 ft = 4 × 12 = 48 in
Plus 6 in = 48 + 6 = 54 inches per person

Two people: 54 × 2 = 108 inches total

Now convert to yards:
108 in ÷ 36 in/yd = 3 yards

(Alternatively: 4 ft 6 in = 4.5 ft; 4.5 × 2 = 9 ft; 9 ÷ 3 = 3 yd — same answer!)

Final Answer:

Find the equivalent measurement:

1. 12 in. = 1 ft.
2. 36 in. = 1 yd.
3. 24 in. = 2 ft.
4. 36 in. = 3 ft.
5. 2 yd. = 6 ft.
6. 15 ft. = 5 yd.
7. 4 yd. = 12 ft.
8. 3 yd. = 108 in.
9. 30 ft. = 10 yd.
10. 7 ft. = 84 in.
11. 45 ft. = 15 yd.
12. 12 ft. = 144 in.
13. 4 yd. = 144 in.
14. 20 yd. = 60 ft.
15. 50 yd. = 150 ft.

Solve each problem:

6. 60 inches
7. 36 feet
8. 72 inches
9. 8 yards
10. 3 yards
