Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
Match each statement with the correct term.
Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.

1. The most common length conversions are between
3.28 ft
Younches and centimeters - Feet and meters - Miles and kilometers

Multiply the number of the larger unit by the number smaller units that go into it. Quarts are smaller than gallons - every gallon has four quarts. Since You are converting from a larger unit (gallons) to a smaller unit (quarts) - your answer needs t
you should know the conversion factors for feet and yards ( 3 ft/yd) and you should likewise know the conversion factor for feet and meters ( 3.28 ft/m). So you can convert yards to feet and then feet to meters.
