• B. 10 µg
• C. 100 µg
• D. 1,000 µg

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: 1,000 µg. To convert milligrams to micrograms, you need to multiply by 1,000 because there are 1,000 micrograms in 1 milligram.

2. How many centimeters are in one meter?

• A. 1/10 cm
• B. 100 cm
• C. 10 cm

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 100 cm. One meter is equivalent to 100 centimeters. This conversion is based on the metric system, where the prefix 'centi-' represents one hundredth. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the conversion of meters to centimeters. Choice A, '1/10 cm,' is incorrect as it represents a fraction of a centimeter, not the full conversion from meters to centimeters. Choice C, '10 cm,' is incorrect as it represents the conversion from decimeters to centimeters, not meters to centimeters. Choice D, '1000 cm,' is incorrect as it represents the conversion from meters to millimeters, not centimeters.

Rationale: To convert grams to kilograms, you divide by 1,000 since there are 1,000 grams in a kilogram. Therefore, 1,500 grams divided by 1,000 equals 1.5 kilograms, making choice B the correct answer. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly convert grams to kilograms.

4. How many cups are in one pint?

• A. 1 cup
