length
12 inches in a foot 3 feet in a yard 5 thousand 2 hundred 80 feet in a mile
12 inches = 1 foot 3 feet = 1 yard 5280 feet = 1 mile
12 in. = 1 ft. 3 ft. = 1 yd ft. = 1 mile
12” = 1’ 3’ = 1 yd. 5280’ = 1 mile
12 in. = 1 ft. 3 ft. = 1 yd ft. = 1 mile
Challenge - 12” = 1’ 3’ = 1 yard ____ yards = 1 mile (hint: 5280’ = 1 mile)
12” = 1’ 3’ = 1 yard 1760 yd. = 1 mile

REVIEW: volume / capacity lengthweight
12 in. = 1 ft. 3 ft. = 1 yd ft. = 1 mile (length – distance)
8 oz. = 1 cup 2 c. = 1 pint 2 pt. = 1 quart 4 qt. = 1 gallon (capacity – volume)
16 ounces in a pound 2000 pounds in a ton 16 oz. = 1 lb lbs. = T. (weight – mass)
