Customary Measurement Conversion Game
 
The best way to get good at Measurement conversion to do it often. This Measurement Conversion Game is an interactive and engaging web-based application designed to help you practice and improve your skills.
 
To convert customary measurements, you need to know the conversion factors for each type of measurement (length, weight, and capacity). The fundamental rule is simple: multiply when converting from a larger unit to a smaller one, and divide when converting from a smaller unit to a larger one. Scroll down the page for a more detailed explanation.
 
This game will challenge you to convert between some common standard measurements of length, mass, and volume. If you get an answer wrong, the game will show you the correct solution. The game has an optional 60-second timer, encouraging players to solve the problems quickly and efficiently.

Key Customary Conversion Factors
It’s helpful to have a chart or memorize the key relationships for each category:
Length
1 foot = 12 inches
1 yard = 3 feet
Weight
1 pound = 16 ounces
Capacity
1 cup = 8 fluid ounces
1 pint = 2 cups
1 quart = 2 pints
1 gallon = 4 quarts
 

Step-by-Step Conversion Process

1. Identify the conversion you need to make. For example, you want to convert 5 yards into inches.
   
2. Determine if you’re going from a larger unit to a smaller unit, or vice versa. In this case, yards are larger than inches.
   
3. Choose the correct operation:
   Larger to Smaller: Multiply.
   Smaller to Larger: Divide.
   Since you are converting from yards to inches (larger to smaller), you will multiply.
   
4. Find the conversion factor. You need to know how many inches are in a yard. This is a two-step conversion:
   1 yard = 3 feet
   1 foot = 12 inches
   Therefore, 1 yard = 3 feet x 12 inches/foot = 36 inches.
   
5. Perform the calculation.
   5 yards x 36 inches/yard = 180 inches.
   You can convert between customary units with this process, even for multi-step conversions like the one above.
    
   

In this game, you may be asked any of the following:
Length
from: ‘feet’, to: ‘inches’, multiply by 12
from: ‘yards’, to: ‘feet’, multiply by 3
from: ‘inches’, to: ‘feet’, multiply by 1/12
from: ‘feet’, to: ‘yards’, multiply by 1/3
Volume
from: ‘pints’, to: ‘cups’, multiply by 2
from: ‘quarts’, to: ‘pints’, multiply by 2
from: ‘gallons’, to: ‘quarts’, multiply by 4
from: ‘cups’, to: ‘pints’, multiply by 1/2
from: ‘pints’, to: ‘quarts’, multiply by 1/2
from: ‘quarts’, to: ‘gallons’, multiply by 1/4
Weight
from: ‘pounds’, to: ‘ounces’, multiply by 16
from: ‘ounces’, to: ‘pounds’, multiply by 1/16
