1. Convert 0.1 liter to milliliters.

• A. 10 ml
• B. 100 ml
• C. 1000 ml
• D. 1 ml

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert 0.1 liters to milliliters, you need to multiply by 1000, not 10000. Therefore, 0.1 liter converts to 100 ml. Choice A (10 ml) is incorrect because it is the equivalent of 0.01 liter. Choice C (1000 ml) is incorrect as it represents 1 liter. Choice D (1 ml) is significantly less than the correct conversion.

2. Convert 0.1 liter to milliliters. What is the equivalent volume?

• A. 1 ml
• B. 10 ml
• C. 100 ml
• D. 1000 ml

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert liters to milliliters, you need to multiply the number of liters by 1,000 because there are 1,000 milliliters in a liter. Therefore, 0.1 liter is equal to 100 milliliters. Choice A (1 ml) is incorrect because it represents the conversion of 0.01 liters, not 0.1 liters. Choice B (10 ml) is incorrect as it also represents the conversion of 0.01 liters. Choice D (1000 ml) is incorrect as it represents the conversion of 1 liter, not 0.1 liter.

3. Is 0.25 mg equal to 250 mcg?

• A. TRUE
• B. FALSE
• C. Sometimes
• D. None of the above

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: TRUE. 0.25 mg is indeed equal to 250 mcg. This conversion is obtained by multiplying 0.25 mg by 1000 to convert it to micrograms. In pharmaceuticals, it is crucial to understand and convert between different dosage units accurately. Choice B is incorrect as the two quantities are equivalent. Choice C, 'Sometimes,' is misleading as the conversion from milligrams to micrograms follows a consistent ratio. Choice D, 'None of the above,' is incorrect as there is a definitive equivalence between the provided quantities.

4. What is 0.075 mg converted to micrograms?

• A. 75 mcg
• B. 7.5 mcg
• C. 0.75 mcg
• D. 750 mcg

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To convert milligrams to micrograms, you need to multiply by 1000 since there are 1000 micrograms in a milligram. Therefore, to convert 0.075 mg to mcg, you would multiply 0.075 by 1000, which equals 75. Thus, the correct conversion is 750 mcg. Choice A, 75 mcg, is incorrect as it's the result if you mistakenly multiply by 10 instead of 1000. Choice B, 7.5 mcg, is incorrect as it's the result if you divide by 10 instead of multiplying by 1000. Choice C, 0.75 mcg, is incorrect as it's the result if you divide by 100 instead of multiplying by 1000.

5. What is 0.04 liters converted to milliliters?

• A. 40 ml
• B. 4 ml
• C. 400 ml
• D. 0.4 ml

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert liters to milliliters, you need to multiply by 1,000 since there are 1,000 milliliters in a liter. So, to convert 0.04 liters to milliliters, you would multiply 0.04 by 1,000, giving you 40 milliliters. This means that choice A, '40 ml', is the correct answer. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly convert liters to milliliters. Choice B, '4 ml', is incorrect as it is 10 times smaller than the correct conversion. Choice C, '400 ml', is incorrect as it is 10 times larger than the correct conversion. Choice D, '0.4 ml', is incorrect as it is one-tenth of the correct conversion.
