Answer key · Set B
Feet, inches and meters
17 Count the squares. 7 squares of 1 inch each is 7 inches.
25 The crayon ends at the 5, so it is 5 inches long.
36 The leaf ends at the 6, so it is 6 centimeters long.
436 3 feet of 12 inches each. 12 + 12 + 12 = 36.
5200 1 meter is 100 centimeters. 100 + 100 = 200.
6small clips A small clip fits more times along the same ribbon, so you count more of them.
7meters 10 centimeters is shorter than your hand. A bus is about 10 meters.
8centimeters A grape is tiny. 2 centimeters fits it. 2 meters or 2 feet would be far too big.
9a meter stick A classroom is long. A meter stick is longer than a 12 inch ruler, so you move it fewer times.
10False A foot is a big unit, so fewer feet fit. You count more inches.
111-C, 2-A, 3-D, 4-B Each foot is 12 inches. Each meter is 100 centimeters.
123, 2, 1, 4 A centimeter is shorter than an inch. A foot is 12 inches, and a meter is longer than a foot.
