Questions and Answers
Q 1 - Fill in the blank to make the conversion true.

$\mathbf{3 \frac{1}{6}}$ miles = ___ feet

Answer : C

Explanation

Step 1:

1 mile = 1760 yards; 1 yard = 3 feet

Hence 1 mile = 1760 × 3 = 5280 feet

Step 2:

So, $3\frac{1}{6}$ miles = $\frac{19}{6}$ miles = $\frac{19}{6} \times 5280 = 16,720$ feet

Q 2 - Fill in the blank to make the conversion true.

$\mathbf{2 \frac{1}{10}}$ tons = ___ ounces

Answer : B

Explanation

Step 1:

1 ton = 2000 pounds; 1 pound = 16 ounces

Hence 1 ton = 2000 × 16 = 32000 ounces

Step 2:

So, $2\frac{1}{10}$ tons = $\frac{21}{10}$ tons = $\frac{21}{10} \times$ 32000 ounces = 67,200 ounces

Q 3 - Fill in the blank to make the conversion true.

$\mathbf{72 \frac{1}{2}}$ inches = ___ yards

Answer : A

Explanation

Step 1:

12 inches = 1 foot; 3 feet = 1 yard

Hence 12 × 3 = 36 inches = 1 yard; 1 inch = $\frac{1}{36}$ yard

Step 2:

So, $72\frac{1}{2}$ inches = $\frac{145}{2}$ inches = $\frac{145}{2} \times \frac{1}{36} = \frac{145}{72} = 2\frac{1}{72}$ yards

Q 4 - Fill in the blank to make the conversion true.

$\mathbf{8 \frac{1}{8}}$ gallons = ___ pints

Answer : D

Explanation

Step 1:

1 gallon = 4 quarts; 1 quart = 2 pints

Hence 1 gallon = 4 × 2 = 8 pints

Step 2:

So, $8\frac{1}{8}$ gallons = $\frac{65}{8} \times 8$ pints = 65 pints

Q 5 - Fill in the blank to make the conversion true.

$\mathbf{64000 \frac{1}{2}}$ ounces = ___ tons

Answer : A

Explanation

Step 1:

16 ounces = 1 pound; 2000 pounds = 1 ton

Hence 16 × 2000 = 32000 ounces = 1 ton 1 ounce = $\frac{1}{32000}$ ton

Step 2:

So, $64000\frac{1}{2}$ ounces = $\frac{128001}{2} \times \frac{1}{32000} = \frac{128001}{64000} = 2\frac{1}{64000}$ tons

Q 6 - Fill in the blank to make the conversion true.

$\mathbf{5 \frac{1}{6}}$ yards = ___ inches

Answer : B

Explanation

Step 1:

1 yard = 3 feet; 1 foot = 12 inches

Hence, 1 yard = 3 × 12 = 36 inches

Step 2:

So, $5\frac{1}{6}$ yards = $\frac{31}{6} \times$ 36 = 186 inches

Q 7 - Fill in the blank to make the conversion true.

$\mathbf{112 \frac{1}{2}}$ cups = ___ gallons

Answer : D

Explanation

Step 1:

4 cups = 1 quart; 4 quarts = 1 gallon

Hence 4 × 4 cups = 16 cups = 1 gallon; 1 cup = $\frac{1}{16}$ gallon

Step 2:

So, $112\frac{1}{2}$ cups = $\frac{225}{2}$ cups = $\frac{225}{2} \times \frac{1}{16} = \frac{225}{32} = 7\frac{1}{32}$ gallons

Q 8 - Fill in the blank to make the conversion true.

$\mathbf{8 \frac{1}{8}}$ gallons = ___ cups

Answer : C

Explanation

Step 1:

4 cups = 1 quart; 4 quarts = 1 gallon

Hence 1 gallon = 4 × 4 = 16 cups;

Step 2:

So, $8\frac{1}{8}$ gallons = $\frac{65}{8}$ gallons = $\frac{65}{8}$ × 16 cups = 130 cups

Q 9 - Fill in the blank to make the conversion true.

$\mathbf{10800 \frac{1}{2}}$ seconds = ___ hours

Answer : D

Explanation

Step 1:

60 seconds = 1 minute; 60 minutes = 1 hour

Hence 60 × 60 = 3600 seconds = 1 hour; 1 second = $\frac{1}{3600}$ hour

Step 2:

So, $10800\frac{1}{2}$ seconds = $\frac{21601}{2} \times \frac{1}{3600}$ hours = $\frac{21601}{7200} = 3\frac{1}{7200}$ hours

Q 10 - Fill in the blank to make the conversion true.

$\mathbf{4320 \frac{1}{2}}$ minutes = ___ day

Answer : B

Explanation

Step 1:

60 minutes = 1 hour; 24 hours = 1day

Hence 60 × 24 = 1440 minutes = 1 day 1 minute = $\frac{1}{1440}$ day

Step 2:

So, $4320\frac{1}{2}$ minutes = $\frac{8641}{2} \times \frac{1}{1440}$ day = $\frac{8641}{2880}$ day = $3\frac{1}{2880}$ days
