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.
