Customary Unit Conversions - MathHelp.com - Pre Algebra Help

For a complete lesson on customary unit conversions, go to www.MathHelp.com - 1000+ online math lessons featuring a personal math teacher inside every lesson! In this lesson, students learn the following customary units of measurement: inch, foot, ounce, ton, fluid ounce, pint, gallon, yard, pound, cup, quart, and so on. Students also learn to convert from one customary unit of measurement to another using the following conversion factors: 60 seconds = 1 minute, 7 days = 1 week, 3 feet = 1 yard, 16 ounces = 1 pound, 4 quarts = 1 gallon, and so on. Students are then asked to solve problems using conversion factors, such as 18 feet = ____ inches.

Omggg if I had her class I'd be snoring 🤣😴😴😴

[@marietoussaint631]

I...GET IT ALL!!!

[@xLUcixable]

then what do you do if its smaller unit to bigger unit?

[@nadinemoudni]

you divide.

[@GhostRider-bw3vm]

HOLY SH!T SHE DID THIS IN 1997!!

[@pachin3311]

+Ghost Rider she did this in 2007

[@staceythuemmler284]

Ghost Rider HOLY FUCK

[@mariabarboza1414]

Funy

[@Hatersgonnahatte12]

Thank you woman

[@kimby1162]

this really really really helpedd!

[@nadinemoudni]

thank you for helping. :)

[@candylady810]

Derrick say: Your beauty is awe. Me + You= Infinity.

[@clickflamed]

do you have a vid for smaller to higher?

[@Colorado_Soul]

Thank you.

[@soratm7898]

MY GOSH I STILL DON'T GET IT

[@a_sort_of_artist_7259]

Lol. Yeah I kinda suck at math too...yet somehow I made a 91...weird.

[@yoonstuff3896]

Here let me help larger to smaller we multiply and smaller to larger we divide:)

[@pauvretori]

Cool Chicken divid by pounds!

[@sharteater9000]

OK HOW THE HELL SHE LEGIT DID THE PROBLEM I WAS WORKIN ON SHE BE THE ILLUMINATI

[@valsliving2206]

OML SAME I GOT CONFUSED THEN I FOUND THIS VIDEO THEN WTHHHH I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM!! * 3lb = __ oz

[@danasteve524]

I know this is a little late for you, but I first think you would have to convert the 325 miles into feet (1 mile = 5280 feet). 325 miles x 5280 feet = 1,716,000 (or if you wrote that in scientific notation, it would be 1.72 x 10^6). You'd then need to convert the hours in minutes, then into seconds (1 hour = 60 minues... 6.5 hours x 60 minutes =390 minutes, then 1 minute = 60 seconds ... 390 x 60 = 23400, or 2.34 x 10^4. You'd then have the numbers in the correct position.

[@TheGlam089]

@paperorpaper I agree with you

[@theicyhottoasterwolf3523]

My homework will never get done!!!😭

[@Tekn010933]

@DarkSphinxx But did it help you understand?

[@dinohunter-ux6bq]

that voice tho

[@swordfishmatador]

I agree.

[@paperorpaper]

This really helped me, thanks.

[@smokeclaw1040]

Thank you I'm doing a project on this stuff and needed some ideas

[@chxcxlate318]

That was one of my problems lol

[@trixiigirlful]

divide! :)

[@austinmuncrief252]

WHY arE yoU yellING! haha

[@nadinemoudni]

To those of you who are asking what to do to *convert a smaller to larger unit* , you *DIVIDE.*

[@jodyadkins3921]

Wow that was a really good video it helped me a lot on my homework!

[@mariabarboza1414]

I still don't get it😔

[@tylirious1]

She is an awesome teacher.

[@paperorpaper]

@02britneyforever Yes.

[@lostinthedunya]

when did she switch the colors of her pen... so sneaky

[@02britneyforever]

how about smaller to larger? divide?

[@nadinemoudni]

yes. divide.

[@sissiegurl]

@02britneyforever yes

[@christopherjones1382]

where did she get the 16 from? IM LOST!

[@gelyparada9398]

Christopher Jones because 16oz equals 1lb

[@yyubikirii661]

because there is 16 ounces in a pound

[@tonyramos386]

So you multiply 16 and 3

[@ma3462]

isnt it suppose to be ounces not ouncIEs

[@kevinlols446]

So what if its small to large ???

[@staceythuemmler284]

Kevin Lols If it's small to large you divide :)

[@Gigi-rp8fe]

Still don't know :(

[@danasteve524]

You would need to know that solving for something smaller, you would multiply, and solving for something bigger, you would divide. If 1 T = 2000 lbs, then 5000 T x 2000 lbs = 10000000 lbs.. Or in scientific notation, it would be 1.00 x 10^7. Think if you had 2 T. Then 2000 lbs x 2 T = 4000 lbs. This would be a valid statement, because two tons = 2000 pounds x 2 = 4000 pounds, or lbs.

[@josenegron2593]

wow thats was one of my problems lol!

[@sharteater9000]

Sad nigga hours same iT was my first one

[@crystalgreenhow7479]

divide instead of multiply

[@mightymate1]

For someone so young she takes her subject very seriously.There should be more teachers like her.

[@sissiegurl]

@gypsyeyes1230 forreal!!!

[@97xXSEANxX97]

Like Use Black As A Marker I Can't See Anything! And Yeah You're Smart "Pshh" Ok I'll Go With That!(BOPP!)

[@makenabretland5148]

all i want is to find out how we do it oz to lbs gezzzzzeeeee

[@WTLB8]

If you go from a larger number to a smaller number, yes, you would divide. However, she's talking about units, which is different. If you are converting a larger unit to a smaller unit (like feet to inches), you multiply because there's more of that smaller unit needed to cover the same distance/mass/volume as that larger unit. Converting one pound to ounces, for example, is going from a larger unit (pound) to a smaller unit (ounces). There are 16 oz in a lb, so you multiply 1 x 16.

[@summercures2]

She reminds me of Dr. Melfi from the Sopranos...lol.

[@ojay347]

She takes normally

[@yonmoore]

I agree haha

[@GhostRider-bw3vm]

This is not what I asked for I already know how to do this I want to compare them like >,

[@MrWeiden1991]

hi teacher

[@yonmoore]

LOL you guys are hilarious but I have to agree with the special ed comment haha.

[@josenegron2593]

she did it for me hhaha

[@yousryyou6859]

it did not help

[@sissiegurl]

i like the guy better!!!!!

[@erikambagwu414]

She said 16oz= 1ib you mean 1 pound equals 16 oz

[@christiandavis5332]

+Erika Mbagwu Same fling lol

[@Gigi-rp8fe]

lol

[@sodr2]

LMAO @ this vid hahahahahaha this is definately made for kids in special ed

[@monkeygirl61896]

@gypsyeyes1230 yo mamma

[@Teddy-ug9nr]

Whut

[@Laner77100]

she is trying to help and trying to make sure that you understand u so bug off

[@BevDeVoreWedding]

Typical math lesson--numbers need units in most of the real world so she should show how she converted from pounds to ounces exactly using the units!

[@Leo-pd8ww]

Just keep ignoring the metric system. It makes everything much easier.

[@moldism2826]

this video did not help

[@samanthak13]

haahhaha shes creepy

[@cheerandflips1235]

This didn't help

[@jilliansiaa]

umm you did it wrong

[@erikambagwu414]

she sure did

[@staceythuemmler284]

Jillian Queen actually, she did it correct. Maybe you should check the process you tried. This question was on a homework page I did and it was also 48.

[@gypsyeyes1230]

she talks to you like you are in special ed... lol it would help if she spoke normally.
