Problem

Applications of Simple US Conversions Convert the US measurements as indicated. Round answers to nearest hundredth. Ryan sprinted 181 feet. If 1 yard = 3 feet, how many yards did he sprint? yards Lara's truck weighs 6641 pounds. If 1 ton $=2000$ pounds, how many tons does the truck weigh? tons Julia needs 2.25 cups of sugar for a recipe. If 1 cup $=8$ fluid ounces, how many ounces does she need? ounces

Solution

Step 1 :Ryan sprinted 181 feet. To convert feet to yards, we divide the number of feet by 3 (since 1 yard = 3 feet). So, Ryan sprinted \(\frac{181}{3} = 60.33\) yards.

Step 2 :Lara's truck weighs 6641 pounds. To convert pounds to tons, we divide the number of pounds by 2000 (since 1 ton = 2000 pounds). So, Lara's truck weighs \(\frac{6641}{2000} = 3.32\) tons.

Step 3 :Julia needs 2.25 cups of sugar for a recipe. To convert cups to fluid ounces, we multiply the number of cups by 8 (since 1 cup = 8 fluid ounces). So, Julia needs \(2.25 \times 8 = 18\) ounces of sugar.

Step 4 :The final answers are: Ryan sprinted \(\boxed{60.33}\) yards, Lara's truck weighs \(\boxed{3.32}\) tons, and Julia needs \(\boxed{18}\) ounces of sugar.
