​Measurement

Jordan’s dad is 71 inches tall. Michael’s dad is 5 feet, 10 inches tall. Whose dad is taller?

​

Warm-Up Problem

1 foot=12 inches

1 yard= 3 feet

1 mile=5,280 feet

1 mile​=1,760 yards

​When you convert measurements, you find the same measurement in different unit.

So...

​From Mile to Yards you need to multiply times 1,760

From yards to foot multiply times 3

From foot to inches multiply times 12

And if you are going backwards just divide by the same references

From inches to foot divided by 12

From foot to yards divided by 3

From yards to mile divided by 1.760

11 Mile to Yards - 11x1.760=19,360

4 Yards to foot- 4x3= 4

50 Foot to inches - 50 x 12=600

.....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

60 Inches to foot - 60÷12=5

90 Foot to yards - 90÷3= 30

5000 Yards to mile- 5000÷1,760= 2,840909
