Question

In which 3 statements below will the number 24 correctly fill in the blank? A) 2 feet = ___ inches B) 24,000 grams = ___ kg C) 3 gallons = ___ pints D) ___ pints = 12 cups E) 240 mg = ___ grams

Answer 1

A,B and C.

Explanation:

(A) 1 feet = 12 inches

So, 2 feet = 2 × 12 inches = 24 inches

(B) 1,000 grams = 1kg

So, 24,000 grams = (24,000÷ 1,000) = 24kg

(C) 1 gallon = 8 pints

So, 3 gallons = 3 × 8 pints = 24 pints

(D) 1 pints = 2 cups

So, 12 cups = (12÷ 2) = 6 pints

(E) 1 gram = 1000 mg

So, 240 mg = (240 ÷ 1,000) = 0.24 gram

Hence, A,B and C correctly fill with 24.
