World Distance Conversions

This worksheet introduces students to metric and customary distance conversions using real-world travel examples. Learners calculate lengths, heights, and distances such as the Eiffel Tower’s height, marathon length, and Mount Everest’s elevation by converting between meters, kilometers, feet, and miles. The problems are organized into sections that encourage conversion fluency between measurement systems. Students also encounter a bonus challenge to extend their understanding by applying the correct conversion factors to a running distance. Through solving these problems, students strengthen their ability to reason quantitatively and apply mathematical conversions to global geography contexts.
