Maths Quiz - Measures 2 (Difficult) (Answers)
This tricky 11-plus Maths quiz on measures will test your ability to work with imperial and metric units, and see whether or not you can convert between the two. In the previous quizzes we have looked at several units, from acres and hectares to inches and centimetres. In this quiz we will introduce some more!
You might well be fairly confident when dealing with common imperial units, like miles or yards, but how well do you know your ounces, leagues, quarts, hundredweights, and tons? Play this quiz and find out for yourself.
As always, take your time and make sure you read each question thoroughly before choosing your answer. And don’t forget the helpful comments that follow each question – they can help to explain things and make sure you understand.
Are we ready? Then let’s begin.

A metric ton (tonne) is very close in weight to an imperial ton (ton). 1 ton = 2,240 pounds, or 1,016 kg

A hundredweight = 8 stone, and 1 stone = 14 pounds
|
1 tonne = 0.984 tons, so to convert tonnes to tons, simply divideby 0.984: 25 ÷ 0.984 = 25.4, which we round down to 25

To convert miles to km just multiply by 1.61: 3.25 x 1.61 = 5.2325
Next convert into metres by multiplying by 100 |
First convert ounces to pounds: 24 ÷ 16 = 1.5
Next convert pounds to kg by dividing by 2.2: 1.5 ÷ 2.2 = 0.68 Finally, convert kg to g by multiplying by 1,000 |

To convert km to miles just divide by 1.61: 384,400 ÷ 1.61 = 238,509

There are 16 ounces in a pound but - confusingly - there are 20 fluid ounces in 1 pint. Nobody said imperial measures were easy!
