Explanation:

Step1: Convert cups to quarts

1 quart = 4 cups, so $\frac{81}{4}=20.25$

Step2: Convert yards to miles

1 mile = 1760 yards, so $\frac{65}{1760}\approx0.0369$

Step3: Convert ounces to tons

1 ton = 32000 ounces, so $\frac{72}{32000}=0.00225$

Step4: Convert inches to feet

1 foot = 12 inches, so $\frac{27}{12}=2.25$

Step5: Convert quarts to gallons

1 gallon = 4 quarts, so $\frac{37}{4}=9.25$

Step6: Convert inches to feet

1 foot = 12 inches, so $\frac{59}{12}\approx4.9167$

Step7: Convert gallons to cups

1 gallon = 16 cups, so $41\times16=656$

Step8: Convert ounces to pounds

1 pound = 16 ounces, so $\frac{29}{16}=1.8125$

Step9: Convert tons to pounds

1 ton = 2000 pounds, so $72\times2000=144000$

Step10: Convert pounds to tons

1 ton = 2000 pounds, so $\frac{30}{2000}=0.015$

Step11: Convert cups to pints

1 pint = 2 cups, so $\frac{96}{2}=48$

Step12: Convert pints to quarts

1 quart = 2 pints, so $\frac{79}{2}=39.5$

Step13: Convert gallons to pints

1 gallon = 8 pints, so $50\times8=400$

Step14: Convert quarts to pints

1 quart = 2 pints, so $67\times2=134$
