  1. Unit 8 CUSTOMARY MEASUREMENT UNITS

  2. CUSTOMARY LINEAR UNITS • Linear Measurement expresses distance between two points or measurement of lengths • Make sure you print the conversion sheet if you have not already. It will show all the conversions that this lesson discusses.

  3. CONVERTING UNITS OF MEASURE • Unity fraction method is used to convert between different units of measure • Method multiplies given unit of measure by a fraction equal to one • Unity fraction is set up so that the original unit cancels and the unit being converted to remains.

  4. CONVERSION EXAMPLE Express 43 inches as feet • Use 12 inches = 1 foot equivalence to set up the unity fraction • Since we started with 43 inches, the inches must cancel • We will make our unity fraction = = 3.6 ftAns Note: Rounded to 2 significant digits

  5. CONVERSION EXAMPLE Express 4.56 miles as rods • Use 1 mile = 320 rods equivalence to set up unity fraction • Since we started with miles, they must cancel out • We will make our unity fraction = 1460 rodsAns Note: Rounded to 3 significant digits

  6. ADDING COMPOUND NUMBERS • To add compound numbers, arrange like units in same columns, then add each column. • When necessary, simplify sum • Add:

  7. ADDING COMPOUND NUMBERS • Arrange like units in same columns: • Add each column: • Simplify:

  8. SUBTRACTING COMPOUND NUMBERS • Arrange like units in the same columns • Subtract each column starting from the right • Regroup as necessary Subtract: 3 ft 14 in – 1 ft 21 in

  9. SUBTRACTING COMPOUND UNITS • Arrange like units in same columns • Borrow from 3 ft • Complete subtraction 1 ft 5 in Ans

  10. MULTIPLYING COMPOUND NUMBERS • Multiply each unit by the multiplier • If necessary, simplify each product • Add the units of each product together Multiply: 5 times 2 mi 540 yd

  11. MULTIPLYING COMPOUND NUMBERS • Multiply each unit by 5: 10 mi 2700 yd • Simplify product: 2700 yd = 1 mi 940 yd • Add: 10 mi + 1 mi 940 yd = 11 mi 940 ydAns

  12. DIVIDING COMPOUND NUMBERS • Divide each unit by divisor starting at left • If a unit is not exactly divisible, express remainder as next smaller unit and add to given number of smaller units • Continue process until all units are divided

  13. DIVISION • Write as division problem and start dividing at left: 15  2 = 7 14 yd 2ft 1 yd • 2  7 = 14: write 14 under the 15 and subtract = 3 ft 4 ft • Convert 1 yd into 3 feet and add it to the 1 foot in the dividend 4 ft • Complete division 7yd 2ft Ans

  14. AREA • Two-dimensional measure • Computed as product of two linear measures • Expressed in square units • Square feet • Square inches • yd2

  15. SURFACE AREA • Customary Units of Surface Area • On your conversion sheet you will notice that the middle column is mostly area measurements.

  16. SURFACE AREA CONVERSIONS • Unity fractions are used for surface area conversions as in linear measure • Express 15 square yards as square feet • Use 1 square yard = 9 square feet to set up unity fraction • Square yards must cancel out • Make the unity fraction = 140 sq ftAns Note: Rounded to 2 significant digits

  17. CUSTOMARY VOLUME UNITS • Three-dimensional • Computed as product of three linear measures • Expressed in cubic units • Cubic inches • Cubic yards • Ft3 • You will notice this follows the third column on your conversion chart.

  18. CUSTOMARY VOLUME UNITS CONVERSION • Use unity fractions to express 12,500 cubic inches as cubic yards • No direct equivalence between cubic inches and cubic yards • Use more than one unity fraction = 0.268 cu ydAns Note: Rounded to 3 significant digits.

  19. CAPACITY/WEIGHT CONVERSIONS • Express 1.5 quarts as cubic inches • No direct conversion between quarts and cubic inches, so more than one unity fraction will be needed = 87 in3Ans Note: Rounded to 2 significant digits • Express 200 cm3 as liters = 0.2 L Ans

  20. COMPOUND UNITS • Products or quotients of two or more basic units such as mi/hr or lb/in2 (psi) • Unity fractionsused to convert compound units by placing units on opposite sides of fraction so that they cancel out • Express 60 miles/hour as feet/second

  21. PRACTICE PROBLEMS • Convert numbers and round each to the same number of significant digits as original quantity • 34.52 feet as yards • 2.36 miles as feet • 4.5 yards as inches • Perform the indicated operations and simplify answers • 1 mi 250 rd + 3 mi 225 rd • 7 ft 2 in – 4 ft 9 in

  22. PRACTICE PROBLEMS (Cont) • Perform the indicated operations and simplify all answers • 4 rd 14 ft + 2 rd 12.5 ft + 3 rd 7 ft • 5 yd 1 ¾ ft – 2 yd 2 ½ ft • 4 yd 2 ft × 4 • 5 mi 110 rd  3 • 6 mi 210 rd 7.5 yd × 3 • 6 ft 6 in  4

  23. PRACTICE PROBLEMS (Cont) • Express 163.2 square inches as square feet • Express 543 square rods as square yards • Express 75 square miles as acres • Express 2.5 cubic feet as cubic inches • Express 123,500 cubic inches as cubic yards • Express 13.5 pints as gallons • Express 18.2 ft/min as mi/hr

  24. PRACTICE PROBLEMS (Cont) • A bullet travels at about 1200 miles per hour. How many feet per second is that? • You own hot property on the edge of a city. You have heard a lot of numbers talking about price per square foot, but you only know you own 20 acres. How many square feet do you own? • How many cubic inches are in a 100 gallon tank?
