A sporting goods store has 7 jump ropes. Each jump rope is 3 feet long. How many total inches of jump ropes does the store have?

Answer explanation

Solution 1

7 jump ropes that are 3 feet = 21 feet total

Convert 21 feet to inches = 21 x 12 = 252 inches

Solution 2

Convert 3 ft to inches = 3 x 12 = 36 inches <-- 1 jump rope

Since there are 7 jump ropes --> 36 x 7 = 252

The line plot shows the amount of pizza seven people ate at a party.

If the pizzas eaten were distributed equally among the 7 people, how much pizza would each person get?

• 11/28

• 11/4

• 7/4

• 4/7

Answer explanation

Jenn and Kristin are baking sweets for a bake sale. Jenn says they need 4 units of flour. Kristin says they need 16 units of flour. If they are both correct, what can account for the different numbers of units they measure?

• Jenn measured in gallons, Kristin measured in pints

• Jenn measured in pints, Kristin measured in quarts

• Jenn measured in quarts, Kristin measured in cups

• Jenn measured in cups, Kristin measured in gallons

Answer explanation

Since Jenn had less units, her units would have to be larger, so we can eliminate B (pints are smaller than quarts) and D (cups are smaller than gallons).

A. 4 gallons = __ pts (1 gallon = 8 pints)

4 x 8 is NOT 16, so A does not work

C. 4 quarts = ___ cups (1 quart = 4 cups)

4 x 4 IS 16, so C is the correct answer

Dylan has four pet snakes. The length of each snake is shown in the table.

Which snake has the greatest length?

• Snake 1

• Snake 2

• Snake 3

• Snake 4

Answer explanation

You need to convert all the snakes to the same unit to compare. Let's convert all the snakes to millimeters.

1 cm = 10 mm

1 m = 1,000 mm

Snake 1: 90 x 10 = 900 mm

Snake 2: 600 mm

Snake 3: 1 x 1,000 = 1,000 mm <-- largest mm

Snake 4: 10 x 10 = 100 mm

Tiffany places a bowl of marbles on a scale. The total weight was 4 pounds. If the bowl weighs 12 ounces, how many ounces do the marbles weigh?

(Number only, no units)

Answer explanation

The question is asking us to subtract. We need to subtract the weight of the bowl out of the total weight to find what just the marbles weigh.

4 pounds - 12 ounces =

Before we can subtract, we have to make the units the same.

Convert the pounds to ounces
4 lbs = 64 oz (1 lb = 16 oz)

4 x 16 = 64

Now that the units are the same, you can subtract.

64 oz - 12 oz = 52

Answer: 52 ounces

Erica has a recipe to make a large amount of cupcakes. The recipe calls for 3 pounds of sugar. She will need to triple that amount to make an even larger batch of cupcakes. How many ounces of sugar will she need?

Answer explanation

The question is asking us to multiply because tripling a recipe is making it three times.

Solution 1 (Multiply then Convert)

1) Find the total pounds when tripling:
3 lbs x 3 = 9 lbs

2) Convert pounds to ounces (1 lb = 16 oz)
9 lbs = 144 oz (9 x 16 = 144)

Solution 2 (Convert tnen Multiply

1) Convert pounds to ounces (1 lb = 16 oz)
3lb = 48 oz (3 x 16 = 48)

2) Triple the amount (x3)
48 x 3 = 144

Answer: 144 ounces
