  1. To convert from a LARGER unit to a SMALLER unit, you should:Multiply. Going to a smaller unit means more of them are needed, so you MULTIPLY by the conversion factor.
  2. To convert from a SMALLER unit to a LARGER unit, you should:Divide. Going to a larger unit means fewer are needed, so you DIVIDE by the conversion factor.
  3. How many centimeters are in 3 meters?300 cm. 1 m = 100 cm. 3 m × 100 = 300 cm.
  4. How many meters are in 5 kilometers?5,000 m. 1 km = 1,000 m. 5 × 1,000 = 5,000 m.
  5. How many inches are in 2 feet?24 in. 1 foot = 12 inches. 2 × 12 = 24 inches.
  6. Convert 60 minutes to hours.1 hour. 60 minutes ÷ 60 = 1 hour.
  7. How many milliliters are in 3 liters?3,000 mL. 1 L = 1,000 mL. 3 × 1,000 = 3,000 mL.
  8. 3 yards = ___ feet9 ft. 1 yard = 3 feet. 3 × 3 = 9 feet.
  9. Volume is measured in:Cubic units (³). Volume fills 3D space, so it is measured in CUBIC units: cm³, in³, ft³, etc.
  10. The formula for volume of a rectangular prism is:V = l × w × h. V = length × width × height for a rectangular prism.
  11. A box is 3 cm × 4 cm × 2 cm. What is its volume?24 cm³. V = 3 × 4 × 2 = 24 cm³.
  12. A cube has all sides equal to 5 cm. What is its volume?125 cm³. V = 5 × 5 × 5 = 125 cm³.
  13. Which unit is APPROPRIATE for measuring the volume of a swimming pool?. A swimming pool holds 3D space (water) — measured in cubic meters (m³).
  14. V = B × h means:V = base area × height. B is the BASE AREA (length × width for rectangular prisms). V = B × h = (l × w) × h.
  15. A rectangular prism has base area 30 cm² and height 4 cm. What is its volume?120 cm³. V = B × h = 30 × 4 = 120 cm³.
  16. What does it mean to count "unit cubes" to find volume?Count the small 1×1×1 cubes that fill the entire 3D shape. Volume = how many 1-unit cubes fit inside the shape. Counting them gives the volume in cubic units.
  17. Each X on a line plot represents:One data point (one measurement). Each X marks one individual data point or measurement on the number line.
  18. A line plot shows: ½ (3 Xs), 1 (4 Xs), 1½ (2 Xs). The MODE is:1. Mode = most frequent value. 1 appears 4 times — the most Xs. Mode = 1.
  19. The RANGE of a data set is:The difference between the largest and smallest values. Range = maximum − minimum. It shows how spread out the data is.
  20. Data: ¼, ¼, ½, ½, ¾, 1. The range is:1 − ¼ = ¾. Max = 1, Min = ¼. Range = 1 − ¼ = 3/4.
  21. How many total data points are there if a line plot has Xs: ¼(×2), ½(×3), ¾(×1), 1(×2)?8. 2 + 3 + 1 + 2 = 8 total data points.
  22. You measure 5 pencils: 5¼, 5½, 5¼, 5¾, 5½ inches. Which length appears MOST?. 5¼ appears 2 times, 5½ appears 2 times, 5¾ appears 1 time. 5¼ and 5½ are tied. Both appear 2 times (bimodal). If you must pick one: 5½ is listed first among ties.
  23. To find the TOTAL of all data points in a line plot, you:Multiply each value by its X count, then add all products. Total = sum of (value × frequency) for each value. Add up all the products!
  24. A line plot has values from ⅛ to 1 in eighths. How many possible positions are on the number line?8. ⅛, 2/8(=¼), 3/8, 4/8(=½), 5/8, 6/8(=¾), 7/8, 8/8(=1) — that is 8 possible positions.
