Activity # 1 Standard Review Equivalent Measures • 1 foot (ft) = 12 inches • 1 yard (yd) = 3 feet When you convert larger units to smaller units you multiply. 5 ft. = ____ inches Think, feet are larger than inches, so you will multiply. There are 12 inches in one foot, so 12 x 5 = 60. 5 ft. = 60 inches

Activity # 1 Standard Review Continued… Let’s Try It: 4 yd. = ______ ft. Think, yards are larger than feet, so you will multiply. There are 3 feet in one yard, so 3 x 4 = 12 4 yd. = 12 ft.
