Steps to Solve
- Convert 23 yards to inches
We know that 1 yard = 3 feet and 1 foot = 12 inches. Thus, 1 yard = 3 * 12 = 36 inches. Therefore, 23 yards = $23 \times 36 = 828$ inches. Comparing 829 inches and 828 inches, we have $829 > 828$.
- Convert 3 miles to feet
We know that 1 mile = 5,280 feet. Thus, 3 miles = $3 \times 5280 = 15,840$ feet. Comparing 15,840 feet and 15,840 feet, we have $15,840 = 15,840$.
- Convert 17 pounds to ounces
We know that 1 pound = 16 ounces. Thus, 17 pounds = $17 \times 16 = 272$ ounces. Comparing 272 ounces and 270 ounces, we have $272 > 270$.
- Convert 18 tons to pounds
We know that 1 ton = 2,000 pounds. Thus, 18 tons = $18 \times 2000 = 36,000$ pounds. Comparing 34,140 pounds and 36,000 pounds, we have $34,140 < 36,000$.
- Convert 30 pints to fluid ounces
We know that 1 pint = 16 fluid ounces. Thus, 30 pints = $30 \times 16 = 480$ fluid ounces. Comparing 473 fluid ounces and 480 fluid ounces, we have $473 < 480$.
- Convert 39 quarts to cups
We know that 1 quart = 4 cups. Thus, 39 quarts = $39 \times 4 = 156$ cups. Comparing 156 cups and 156 cups, we have $156 = 156$.
- Convert 16 gallons to fluid ounces
We know that 1 gallon = 128 fluid ounces. Thus, 16 gallons = $16 \times 128 = 2048$ fluid ounces. Comparing 2048 fluid ounces and 2050 fluid ounces, we have $2048 < 2050$.
