Metric Conversions for TEAS 7 - Nurselytic

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 500 ml.
To convert liters to milliliters, you multiply the number of liters by 1000 because 1 liter is equal to 1000 milliliters.
Therefore, 0.5 liters x 1000 = 500 milliliters.

Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly convert 0.5 liters to milliliters based on the conversion factor of 1000 ml per liter.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 100 cm. 1 meter is equivalent to 100 centimeters.
Choice A (10 cm) is incorrect as it represents the conversion of decimeters to centimeters.
Choice C (1,000 cm) is incorrect as it represents the conversion of meters to millimeters.
Choice D (10,000 cm) is incorrect as it represents the conversion of meters to centimeters with an extra zero.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale:
To convert 0.04 grams to milligrams, you need to multiply by 1000, not 10000.
Therefore, 0.04 grams equals 40 milligrams (0.04g * 1000 = 40mg).
Choice B, '4 mg,' is incorrect as it reflects the value as if it was in grams.
Choice C, '400 mg,' is incorrect as it incorrectly multiplies by 100 instead of 1000.
Choice D, '0.4 mg,' is incorrect as it incorrectly moves the decimal point to the right instead of multiplying by 1000.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: 'kg' stands for kilogram, the unit of mass equal to 1,000 grams. In the metric system, 'kg' specifically represents the unit of mass, making 'kilogram' the correct choice. The other choices, 'keg,' 'kroner,' and 'kraken,' do not represent the standard unit of mass in the metric system and are therefore incorrect.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 16 ounces. One pint is equivalent to 16 ounces. This is a common conversion in cooking and baking measurements.
Choice A (12 ounces) is incorrect because it does not represent the correct conversion of pints to ounces.
Choice C (8 ounces) is incorrect as it is not the correct equivalent for a pint.
Choice D (20 ounces) is incorrect as it overestimates the number of ounces in a pint. Understanding these conversions is essential when following recipes or working with liquid measurements in various contexts.
