Questions and Answers

Answer : B

Explanation

Step 1:

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

Step 2:

So, 32 cups = $\frac{32}{16}$ gallons = 2 gallons

Answer : A

Explanation

Step 1:

1 ton = 2000 pounds; 1 pound = 16 ounces

Hence 1 ton = 32000 ounces;

Step 2:

Q 3 - 2880 minutes = ___ days

Answer : C

Explanation

Step 1:

60 minutes = 1 hour; 24 hours = 1 day

Hence 60 × 24 = 1440 minutes = 1 day;

1 minute = $\frac{1}{1440}$ day

Step 2:

So, 2880 minutes = $\frac{2880}{1440}$ = 2 days

Q 4 - 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 gallons = 8 × 8 pints = 64 pints

Q 5 - 64000 ounces = ___ tons

Answer : A

Explanation

Step 1:

16 ounces = 1 pound; 2000 pounds = 1 ton

Hence 32000 ounces = 1 ton;

1 ounce = $\frac{1}{32000}$ ton

Step 2:

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

Answer : C

Explanation

Step 1:

1 yard = 3 feet; 1 feet = 12 inches

Hence 1 yard = 3 × 12 inches = 36 inches

Step 2:

So, 8 yards = 8 × 36 inches = 288 inches

Q 7 - 144 inches = ___ yards

Answer : B

Step 1:

12 inch = 1 foot; 3 feet = 1 yard

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

Step 2:

So, 144 inches = $\frac{144}{36}$ = 4 yards

3 feet = 1 yard; 1760 yards = 1 mile

Hence 3 × 1760 = 5280 feet = 1 mile;

1 feet = $\frac{1}{5280}$ mile

Step 2:

So, 15,840 feet = 15,$\frac{840}{5}$,280 = 3 miles
