How the Georgia Milestones reports it

Georgia Milestones is Georgia’s own statewide assessment system, aligned to Georgia’s state-adopted content standards rather than a shared national test framework. The official page says it measures knowledge and skills in the state-adopted standards for mathematics across grades 3 through high school ([Georgia Department of Education](https://gadoe.org/assessment-accountability/georgia-milestones/)).

At a livestock auction, a calf is listed at $28$ stones. What is the calf's weight in pounds? ( $1$ stone $= 14$ pounds)

Use a conversion factor with pounds in the numerator so stones cancel: $28 \text{ stones} \times \dfrac{14 \text{ lb}}{1 \text{ stone}} = 392 \text{ lb}$ .

A pool treatment uses chlorine concentrate and water in a ratio of $9$ to $72$ . How many cups of chlorine concentrate should be added to $5$ gallons of water to make the treatment in this ratio? ( $4$ cups $=$ $1$ quart, $4$ quarts $=$ $1$ gallon.)

Five gallons of water is $5 \times 16 = 80$ cups. With a $9$ to $72$ ratio, $\dfrac{9}{72} = \dfrac{x}{80}$ , so $72x = 720$ and $x = 10$ cups of concentrate.
