Multi-step word problems with unit conversions

Stories that mix a calculation with a change of units: length, weight and volume, or time.

About this worksheet

Each story needs a unit conversion and at least one more step, such as cutting a long rope into short pieces, finding what is left when part of a length is used, or turning minutes of practice into hours. The unit facts needed are printed under the title.

Choose length, weight and volume, or time. Every answer is a whole number. There are twelve different story patterns for each topic.

Printing
