Customary Length Table of Measures
Measurement Example
Inch (in.) A paper clip is about 1 inch long. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Foot (ft) =12 inches Your textbook is about 1 foot long.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yard (yd) =3 feet A baseball bat is about 1 yard long.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mile (mi) =5,280 feet You can walk 1 mile in about 20 minutes.
Customary Capacity
Capacity is the amount a container can hold. Cup (c), pint (pt), quart (qt), and gallon (gal) are customary units for measuring capacity.
1 st How are cups, pints, quarts, and gallons related?
2 nd Practice Game
How are Cups, Pints, Quarts, and Gallons Related?
cup 2 cups = 1 pint pint quart gallon 4 cups = 1 quart 2 pints = 1 quart 16 cups = 1 gallon 8 pints = 1 gallon 4 quarts = 1 gallon
Customary Weight
An ounce (oz) and a pound (lb) are customary units for measuring weight.
