Convert 0.075 mg 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, not 10000. Therefore, to convert 0.075 mg to mcg, you multiply 0.075 by 1000, giving you 75 mcg. The correct answer is not provided in the choices, and the correct conversion is 75 mcg, which is not listed as an option. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not reflect the correct conversion factor. Choice D, 750 mcg, is a common mistake made by incorrectly adding a zero. It is important to remember that the conversion from milligrams to micrograms involves multiplying by 1000, not adding extra zeros.

The SI prefixes micro and milli represent, respectively:
- A. 10^-6 and 10^-3
- B. 10^-9 and 10^-6
- C. 10^-12 and 10^-9
- D. 10^-15 and 10^-12
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The prefixes 'micro-' and 'milli-' represent 10^-6 and 10^-3, respectively. 'Micro-' denotes one-millionth (10^-6), while 'milli-' denotes one-thousandth (10^-3). Choice B is incorrect because it confuses the order of magnitudes for micro and milli. Choice C and D are also incorrect as they provide the wrong values for the prefixes micro and milli.
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.
What is 0.45 liters in milliliters?
- A. 450 ml
- B. 45 ml
- C. 4.5 ml
- D. 0.45 ml
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To convert liters to milliliters, you need to multiply by 1000 since 1 liter equals 1000 milliliters. Therefore, 0.45 liters is equivalent to 450 milliliters. Choice B, 45 ml, is incorrect as it represents the conversion of 0.045 liters to milliliters. Choice C, 4.5 ml, is incorrect as it represents the conversion of 0.0045 liters to milliliters. Choice D, 0.45 ml, is incorrect as it is the initial quantity in milliliters and not the result of the conversion.
What is the equivalent of 35.4 centimeters in kilometers (km)?
- A. 0.00354 km
- B. 0.000354 km
- C. 0.00345 km
- D. 0.0345 km
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To convert centimeters to kilometers, you need to divide by 100,000 since there are 100,000 centimeters in a kilometer. Therefore, 35.4 cm · 100,000 = 0.000354 km. Choice A (0.00354 km) is incorrect as it represents dividing by 10,000, not 100,000. Choice C (0.00345 km) is incorrect as the last digit is different from the correct answer. Choice D (0.0345 km) is incorrect as it represents dividing by 1,000, not by 100,000.
How many ounces are in 2 quarts?
- A. 8 ounces
- B. 32 ounces
- C. 16 ounces
- D. 64 ounces
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: To convert quarts to ounces, you need to know that 1 quart is equal to 32 ounces. Therefore, 2 quarts would be 2 x 32 = 64 ounces. The correct answer is not 16 ounces as stated in the original rationale. The correct answer is 64 ounces, which corresponds to 2 quarts. As a result, 'C: 16 ounces' is incorrect. Options A, B, and D are also incorrect as they do not reflect the accurate conversion from quarts to ounces.
