  8. Measure to Nearest ½ Inch The leaf is 3 inches long to nearest ½ inch. The peanut is 1 ½ inches long to nearest ½ inch.

  9. Conversion Chart 12 inches = 1 foot 36 inches = 1 yard 3 feet = 1 yard 1,760 yards = 1 mile 5,280 feet = 1 mile

  10. Converting Measurements • From Feet to Inches… • You are putting the feet into GROUPS OF 12… • Multiply!

  11. 7 feet = inches How many groups of 12 is that? 7 x 12 in = 84 in

  12. From Inches to Feet You are dividing the feet into tiny inches so… Divide!

  13. 60 in. = Feet You are dividing 60 in. into groups of 12 in. so… 60 12 = 5 ft. -/-

  14. Converting Feet and Inches Remember that a foot is 12 inches! = 24 in 12 in. + 12 in.

  15. 2 ft. 4 inches = in. 12 in. + 12 in. = 24 in + 4 in 28 in. 2 ft. 4 inches = 28 inches

  16. 62 inches = ____ feet ___in. 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 =60 so… 5 ft. 62-60 = 2 in. 62 in = 5ft 2 in
