Measurement and conversion problems. Remember the following conversions:
1 ft. = 12 in.
1 yd. = 3 ft.
1 mi. = 5,280 ft.
If you are converting from a bigger measure to a smaller, you multiply using the conversion number. (So, going from feet to inches, you multiply by 12.)
If you are converting from a smaller measure to a bigger, you divide using the conversion number. (So, going from feet to yards, you divide by 3.)

Assignment #11 - YOU DO NOT HAVE TO DO #67 AND #68 ON THE BACK SIDE! These are really super hard problems and I don't like them. I'm so sorry they were on your paper. On the front side, there is a table on the bottom that might be a little confusing. The top numbers tell you the air temperatures without any wind. The left side tells you how fast the wind is blowing and the table tells you what it will feel like. For example, when it is actually -15 degrees outside (look at the top numbers - "Calm Air Temperature") and the wind is blowing 10 miles an hour, it will feel like it's -40 degrees outside. Once you understand how to read the table, you should be able to answer the questions. Send me an email if you are confused!
