Measurement
Goal 2: Capacity and Weight
2.01: Estimate the measure of an
object in one system given the measure
of that object in another system.
Customary Units of Capacity
8 fluid ounces (fl oz) = 1 cup (c)
2 cups (c) = 1 pint (pt)
2 pints (pt) = 1 quart (qt)
4 cups (c) = 1 quart (qt)
4 quarts (qt) = 1 gallon (gal)
Customary Units of Weight
16 ounces (oz) = 1 pound (lb)
2,000 pounds (lb) = 1 ton (T)
16 oz
1 lb
2,000 lbs or 1 T

Metric Capacity and Mass
Capacity
1,000 milliliters (mL) = 1 liter (L)
250 milliliters (mL) = 1 metric cup
4 metric cups = 1 liter
1,000 liters = 1 kiloliter (kL)
Mass
1,000 milligrams (mg) = 1 gram (g)
1,000 grams (g) = 1 kilogram (kg)
1 gram
