Metric Conversions for TEAS 7 - Nurselytic

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: 0.13 inches. When converting decimals to inches, the value remains the same.
Choice A, 0.013 inches, represents a smaller value than 0.13 inches as it has an extra zero.
Choice B, 1.3 inches, is incorrect as it is a larger value than 0.13 inches.
Choice D, 13 inches, is significantly larger than 0.13 inches, making it an incorrect conversion.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale:
To convert liters to milliliters, you need to multiply by 1000 since there are 1000 milliliters in 1 liter. So, 0.20 liters x 1000 = 200 milliliters. This makes choice A, '200 ml,' the correct answer.

Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the correct conversion factor from liters to milliliters.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale:
To convert 0.875 to a fraction, you can write it as 875/1000. Simplifying this fraction by dividing the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 125, gives you 7/8.
Therefore, the correct answer is 7/8.
Choice B (9/10),
Choice C (5/6), and
Choice D (3/4) are incorrect as they do not represent the fraction equivalent of 0.875.

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.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The decimal 0.07 can be expressed as the fraction 7/100, where 7 is the numerator and 100 is the denominator.
To simplify the fraction, you divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which in this case is 1.
Therefore, 7/100 is already in its simplest form and cannot be further simplified.

Choices B, C, and D are incorrect fractions as they do not represent the decimal 0.07.
