    CUSTOMARY

    CONVERSIONS
    You can multiply or divide to convert measurements within the
    same system. You can use this chart to help you make your
    conversions.

    ÷12 ÷3 ÷1,760
    inches feet yards miles
    x12 x3 x1,760

    Example:
    If you have a rope that is 72 inches long and you wanted to
    know how many feet that is you would use the following
    equation.

    72 inches ÷12 = 6 feet


    You know that the rope is 6 feet long. If you wanted to convert
    that rope into yards you would use the following equation.

    6 feet ÷3 = 2 yards.

    You know that 72 inches = 6 feet = 2 yards.
