How to use these flashcards

Work through these flashcards in short sessions. Try to answer each prompt before flipping the card, then revisit any cards you miss until the explanation feels automatic.

Flashcard 1: What is the average speed in mph for $120\text{ mi}$ traveled in $3\text{ hr}$?

Answer: $40\text{ mph}$. Average speed is calculated by dividing total distance by total time, so $120$ miles divided by $3$ hours.

Flashcard 2: What is the conversion from miles to feet (feet per $1$ mile)?

Answer: $1\text{ mi}=5280\text{ ft}$. This is the standard conversion factor in the customary system where one mile equals 5280 feet.

Flashcard 3: What is the elapsed time from $2{:}15\text{ PM}$ to $3{:}05\text{ PM}$?

Answer: $50\text{ min}$. Calculate the time difference by adding $45$ minutes from $2:15$ to $3:00$ and $5$ minutes to $3:05$.

Flashcard 4: What is the conversion from yards to feet (feet per $1$ yard)?

Answer: $1\text{ yd}=3\text{ ft}$. This is the standard conversion factor in the customary system where one yard equals three feet.

Flashcard 5: What is the conversion from meters to centimeters (centimeters per $1$ meter)?

Answer: $1\text{ m}=100\text{ cm}$. This is the standard conversion factor in the metric system where one meter equals 100 centimeters.

Flashcard 6: What is $30\text{ in}$ in feet?

Answer: $2.5\text{ ft}$. Divide $30$ inches by the conversion factor of $12$ inches per foot to convert to feet.

Flashcard 7: What is the conversion from feet to inches (inches per $1$ foot)?

Answer: $1\text{ ft}=12\text{ in}$. This is the standard conversion factor in the customary system where one foot equals twelve inches.

Flashcard 8: What is $4\text{ yd}$ in feet?

Answer: $12\text{ ft}$. Multiply $4$ yards by the conversion factor of $3$ feet per yard to convert to feet.

Flashcard 9: What is the conversion from kilometers to meters (meters per $1$ kilometer)?

Answer: $1\text{ km}=1000\text{ m}$. This is the standard conversion factor in the metric system where one kilometer equals 1000 meters.

Flashcard 10: What is the conversion from minutes to seconds (seconds per $1$ minute)?

Answer: $1\text{ min}=60\text{ s}$. This is the standard time conversion where one minute equals 60 seconds.

Flashcard 11: What is $3\text{ min}$ in seconds?

Answer: $180\text{ s}$. Multiply $3$ minutes by the conversion factor of $60$ seconds per minute to convert to seconds.

Flashcard 12: What is $3600\text{ s}$ in hours?

Answer: $1\text{ hr}$. Divide $3600$ seconds by $60$ to get minutes, then divide by $60$ again to convert to hours.

Flashcard 13: What is $90\text{ min}$ in hours?

Answer: $1.5\text{ hr}$. Divide $90$ minutes by the conversion factor of $60$ minutes per hour to convert to hours.

Flashcard 14: What is $2\text{ hr}$ in minutes?

Answer: $120\text{ min}$. Multiply $2$ hours by the conversion factor of $60$ minutes per hour to convert to minutes.

Flashcard 15: What is the conversion from decades to years (years per $1$ decade)?

Answer: $1\text{ decade}=10\text{ yr}$. This is the standard time conversion where one decade equals 10 years.

Flashcard 16: What is the conversion from hours to minutes (minutes per $1$ hour)?

Answer: $1\text{ hr}=60\text{ min}$. This is the standard time conversion where one hour equals 60 minutes.

Flashcard 17: What is the conversion from weeks to days (days per $1$ week)?

Answer: $1\text{ wk}=7\text{ days}$. This is the standard time conversion where one week equals 7 days.

Flashcard 18: What is the elapsed time from $7{:}40\text{ AM}$ to $8{:}10\text{ AM}$?

Answer: $30\text{ min}$. Calculate the time difference by adding $20$ minutes from $7:40$ to $8:00$ and $10$ minutes to $8:10$.

Flashcard 19: What is $250\text{ cm}$ in meters?

Answer: $2.5\text{ m}$. Divide $250$ centimeters by the conversion factor of $100$ centimeters per meter to convert to meters.

Flashcard 20: What is $5\text{ ft}$ in inches?

Answer: $60\text{ in}$. Multiply $5$ feet by the conversion factor of $12$ inches per foot to convert to inches.

Flashcard 21: What is $2\text{ mi}$ in feet?

Answer: $10560\text{ ft}$. Multiply $2$ miles by the conversion factor of $5280$ feet per mile to convert to feet.
