Question 1 of 5

The physician orders 1000 mg of Benadryl liquid; 1 g = 1 tsp. How many teaspoons will you give?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Since 1 gram (g) equals 1000 milligrams (mg) and 1 g = 1 teaspoon (tsp), the prescribed 1000 mg is equal to 1 tsp. Therefore, you will give 1 teaspoon of the Benadryl liquid. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not correspond to the correct conversion of 1 g to 1 tsp, which is essential in solving this dosage calculation.

Question 2 of 5

How many gallons are in 16 quarts?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To convert quarts to gallons, remember that 1 gallon equals 4 quarts. Therefore, 16 quarts · 4 quarts/gallon = 4 gallons. The correct answer is 4 gallons because each gallon contains 4 quarts. Choice A (1 gallon) is incorrect because 1 gallon is equal to 4 quarts, not 16 quarts. Choice B (8 gallons) is incorrect as it miscalculates the conversion. Choice D (4.5 gallons) is incorrect because it doesn't align with the conversion rate of 4 quarts per gallon.

Question 3 of 5

How many kilometers is equivalent to 200 meters?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: To convert meters to kilometers, divide the number of meters by 1000, as 1 kilometer is equal to 1000 meters. Therefore, 200 meters is equivalent to 200 / 1000 = 0.2 kilometers. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not correctly convert meters to kilometers. A provides an answer that would be correct if converting from kilometers to meters. B and C are much larger distances than what 200 meters represent.

Question 4 of 5

How many feet are in 3 yards?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To convert yards to feet, you multiply by 3, as 1 yard is equal to 3 feet. Therefore, 3 yards equals 3 x 3 = 9 feet. Choice A (18 feet) is incorrect because it multiplies by 2 instead of 3. Choice C (12 feet) is incorrect as it multiplies by 4 instead of 3. Choice D (27 feet) is incorrect as it multiplies by 9 instead of 3.

Question 5 of 5

Convert 63 grams to mg.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To convert grams to milligrams, you need to multiply by 1000 since there are 1000 milligrams in a gram. So, to convert 63 grams to milligrams, you would calculate 63 * 1000 = 63,000 milligrams. Therefore, the correct answer is 63,000 mg. Choice A (630 mg) is incorrect as it would be the converted value if the original amount was 0.63 grams. Choice B (63 mg) is incorrect as it is the same value as the original grams. Choice D (63,000 mg) is incorrect as it is the same as the correct answer, but with a comma which is not standard when expressing numerical values.
