Metric Conversions for TEAS 7 Questions
Question 1 of 9
How many cups are in one pint?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 2 of 9
What is 0.025 mg in 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.
Question 3 of 9
What is the equivalent of 1 nanometer (nm) in meters (m)?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: 10^-9 meters. 1 nanometer (nm) is equivalent to 10^-9 meters. This conversion is commonly used in various scientific fields, including nanotechnology, to represent extremely small lengths. Choice B, 10^-6 meters, is incorrect as it represents a micrometer, not a nanometer. Choice C, 10^-12 meters, is incorrect as it would be a picometer, which is smaller than a nanometer. Choice D, 10^-15 meters, is incorrect as it would be a femtometer, much smaller than a nanometer.
Question 4 of 9
What is the result of multiplying 0.15 by 60?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: 9. To find the result of multiplying 0.15 by 60, you simply multiply the two numbers together. 0.15 * 60 = 9. This calculation involves basic multiplication. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct product of 0.15 and 60. Understanding how to multiply decimals and whole numbers is essential in various real-life scenarios such as calculating percentages or adjusting measurements.
Question 5 of 9
Convert 0.75 kilograms to grams.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To convert kilograms to grams, you need to multiply by 1000 since there are 1000 grams in a kilogram. Therefore, 0.75 kilograms is equal to 0.75 x 1000 = 750 grams. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they incorrectly place the decimal point and do not reflect the correct conversion from kilograms to grams.
Question 6 of 9
How many feet are equal to 1 yard?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: 3 feet. This is because 1 yard is equivalent to 3 feet. The conversion factor between yards and feet is 1 yard = 3 feet. Choice A (4 feet) is incorrect as it represents the conversion of 1 yard to 4 feet, which is inaccurate. Choice C (2 feet) is incorrect as it underestimates the number of feet in 1 yard. Choice D (5 feet) is incorrect as it overestimates the number of feet in 1 yard.
Question 7 of 9
Convert 250 milliliters to liters.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To convert milliliters to liters, you need to divide by 1000 since there are 1000 milliliters in a liter. Therefore, 250 milliliters is equal to 250/1000 = 0.25 liters. Choice A, 25 liters, is incorrect as it is a magnitude higher than the correct answer. Choice C, 2.5 liters, is also incorrect as it is 10 times greater than the correct conversion. Choice D, 0.025 liters, is incorrect as it is a magnitude lower than the correct conversion.
Question 8 of 9
What is the base unit for liquid volume in the metric system?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Liters. In the metric system, liters are the base unit for liquid volume. Milliliters, though a metric unit, are a smaller unit of volume and not the base unit. Gallons, on the other hand, are part of the imperial system and not a metric unit for volume. Option D is a duplicate of option B, making it incorrect.
Question 9 of 9
What is 0.5 liter in ml?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To convert liters to milliliters, you multiply the number of liters by 1000. Therefore, 0.5 liters equals 500 milliliters. This conversion is standard in various fields, making choice A the correct answer. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly convert liters to milliliters.
