22. I. Directions: Convert the following
measurement. Show your solution and
answer on your notebook.
1. 3 inches = ___________ centimeters
2. 4 yards = _________ inches
3. 5 feet = _______ centimeters
4. 15 decimeters = _________ meters
5. 10 centimeters = ________ millimeters
23. 1. 3 inches = ___________ centimeters
To convert inches to centimeters,
we use the conversion factor:
1 inch = 2.54 centimeters
So, 3 inches * 2.54 centimeters/inch
= 7.62 centimeters
24. 2. 4 yards = _________ inches
To convert yards to inches, we use the
conversion factor: 1 yard = 36 inches
So, 4 yards * 36 inches/yard
= 144 inches
25. 3. 5 feet = _______ centimeters
To convert feet to centimeters, we use
the conversion factor: 1 foot = 30.48
centimeters
So, 5 feet * 30.48 centimeters/foot
= 152.4 centimeters
26. 4. 15 decimeters = _________ meters
To convert decimeters to meters, we
use the fact that there are 10
decimeters in 1 meter.
So, 15 decimeters * (1 meter / 10
decimeters) = 1.5 meters
27. 5. 10 centimeters = ________ millimeters
To convert centimeters to millimeters,
we use the conversion factor: 1
centimeter = 10 millimeters
So, 10 centimeters * 10
millimeters/centimeter
= 100 millimeters
