Convert Units First

Lesson Page 2, Section 2

What you'll work on

Solve multi-part measurement addition problems by first converting all values to the same unit, then combining them.

Big Idea for this lesson

$A soft cream-white painted illustration of two old balance-scale pans, one labeled 'feet' and one labeled 'inches,' with an arrow showing both being poured into a single unified container — warm scholarly tones.$

Always convert to the same unit before combining. A measurement like '9 ft 9 in' is really two separate quantities in different units — convert the feet to inches first, then add everything together.
