Maths Quiz - Measures 2 (Easy) (Answers)
1. A cuboid has a length of 8 cm, a width of 5 cm and a height of 7 cm. What is the volume of the cuboid?
[ ] 20 cm²
[ ] 20 cm³
[x] 280 cm³
[ ] 280 cm²
Volume = length × width × height = 8 × 5 × 7 = 280 cm³. Make sure that for area you use square (²) and that for volume you use cube (³)
2. If 1 mile = 1.61 kilometres, how many miles is 32.2 km?
[ ] 51 miles
[x] 20 miles
[ ] 48 miles
[ ] 16 miles
To convert km to miles, divide by 1.61: 32.2 ÷ 1.61 = 20
3. A floor measures 5 yards by 6 yards. If 1 yard² = 0.84 m², what is the area of the floor in m²?
[ ] 47 m²
[ ] 35.7 m²
[ ] 15.6 m²
[x] 25.2 m²
Area = length x width: 5 x 6 = 30.
Next, convert yards² to m² by multiplying by 0.84: 30 x 0.84 = 25.2.
Be sure you use ² if the number is squared
4. There are 14 pounds in 1 stone. If 1 pound = 0.45 kilograms, how many kilograms are there in 1 stone?
[x] 6.3 kg
[ ] 31.1 kg
[ ] 7 kg
[ ] 5.8 kg
To convert pounds to kg, multiply by 0.45: 14 x 0.45 = 6.3
5. There are 8 pints in 1 gallon. If 1 pint = 0.57 litres, how many litres are there in 1 gallon?
[ ] 14.03 litres
[x] 4.56 litres
[ ] 8.57 litres
[ ] 7.43 litres
To convert pints to litres, multiply by 0.57: 8 x 0.57 = 4.56
6. 100 metres is the distance of a sprint race. If 1 yard = 0.91 metres, how many yards are there in 100 metres, to the nearest yard?
[ ] 91 yards
[ ] 97 yards
[x] 110 yards
[ ] 112 yards
To convert metres into yards, divide by 0.91: 100 ÷ 0.91 = 109.89, which we round up to 110
7. An estate owner has 480 acres of land. If 1 acre = 0.4 hectares, how many hectares does the estate owner have?
[x] 192 hectares
[ ] 1,200 hectares
[ ] 220 hectares
[ ] 240 hectares
To convert acres into hectares, multiply by 0.4: 480 x 0.4 = 192
8. The distance from London to Edinburgh is 649 km. If 1 mile = 1.61 km, how many miles is it from London to Edinburgh, to the nearest mile?
[ ] 1,045 miles
[ ] 642 miles
[ ] 376 miles
[x] 403 miles
To convert km into miles, divide by 1.61: 649 ÷ 1.61 = 403.105, which we round down to 403
9. If 1 pound = 0.45 kilograms, how many grams are there in 2 pounds?
[ ] 444 g
[x] 900 g
[ ] 4,444 g
[ ] 90 g
If 1 pound = 0.45 kg, then 2 pounds = 0.9 kg. We know that there are 1,000 grams in a kg, so 0.9 kg = 900 grams
10. Pop usually comes in 2 litre bottles. If 1 pint = 0.57 litres, how many pints are there in 2 litres, to 1 decimal place?
[ ] 1.1 pints
[ ] 2.4 pints
[x] 3.5 pints
[ ] 4.2 pints
To convert litres into pints, divide by 0.57: 2 ÷ 0.57 = 3.508, which we round down to 3.5
