1. What is 0.025 mg in mcg?

• A. 25 mcg
• B. 250 mcg
• C. 2.5 mcg
• D. 0.25 mcg

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert milligrams to micrograms, you need to multiply by 1000 because there are 1000 micrograms in a milligram. Therefore, 0.025 mg x 1000 = 25 mcg. This means that the correct answer is A, 25 mcg. Choice B, 250 mcg, is incorrect because it incorrectly multiplies by 10 instead of 1000. Choice C, 2.5 mcg, is incorrect as it inaccurately divides the value by 10. Choice D, 0.25 mcg, is also incorrect as it divides the value by 100 instead of multiplying by 1000.

2. Convert 0.025 mg to micrograms.

• A. 25 mcg
• B. 250 mcg
• C. 2.5 mcg
• D. 0.25 mcg

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert milligrams to micrograms, you multiply by 1000, not 10000. Therefore, 0.025 mg equals 25 mcg. Choice B (250 mcg) is incorrect as it incorrectly multiplies by 10000. Choice C (2.5 mcg) is incorrect as it incorrectly divides by 10. Choice D (0.25 mcg) is incorrect as it incorrectly multiplies by 10.

3. How many milliliters are in 2 liters?

• A. 20 mL
• B. 200 mL
• C. 2,000 mL
• D. 20,000 mL

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert liters to milliliters, you need to multiply the number of liters by 1,000 since there are 1,000 milliliters in 1 liter. Therefore, 2 liters x 1,000 = 2,000 milliliters. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not account for the correct conversion factor from liters to milliliters.

4. What is 0.2 liters when converted to milliliters?

• A. 20 ml
• B. 200 ml
• C. 2 ml
• D. 2000 ml

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert liters to milliliters, you need to multiply by 1000, not 10000. Therefore, 0.2 liters equals 200 ml (0.2 x 1000 = 200 ml). Choice A, 20 ml, is incorrect because it's the result of multiplying by 10 instead of 1000. Choice C, 2 ml, is incorrect as it's the result of ignoring the decimal point. Choice D, 2000 ml, is incorrect because it's the result of multiplying by 10000.

5. How many meters are equivalent to 3 kilometers?

• A. 300 meters
• B. 3,000 meters
• C. 30,000 meters
• D. 300,000 meters

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert from kilometers to meters, you need to multiply by 1,000 since there are 1,000 meters in a kilometer. Therefore, 3 kilometers is equal to 3,000 meters. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly convert kilometers to meters.
