Explain how you would measure something that is longer than your ruler, but shorter than your yardstick.

I would measure with the ruler and mark where the ruler ends each time, then add up all the measurements.

I can estimate and measure length using inches, feet, and yards.

1
A ruler measures from 0 to 12 inches, which is the same as 1 foot.
2
36 inches is the same as 3 feet, which is the length of a yardstick.
3
To convert from feet to inches, you can multiply by 12, and to convert from inches to feet, you can divide by 12.
