Metric Conversions for TEAS 7

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To convert kilograms to grams, we need to multiply the number of kilograms by 1000 since there are 1000 grams in 1 kilogram. Therefore, to find out how many grams are in 5 kilograms, we multiply 5 by 1000, which equals 5000 grams. The correct answer is C. A: 50 grams - Incorrect. 5 kilograms is equal to 5000 grams, not 50 grams. B: 500 grams - Incorrect. 5 kilograms is equal to 5000 grams, not 500 grams. D: 5 grams - Incorrect. 5 kilograms is equal to 5000 grams, not 5 grams.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 100 cm. There are 100 centimeters in 1 meter because the metric system is based on units of 10. 1 meter is equivalent to 100 centimeters as each meter is divided into 100 equal parts, which are centimeters. Choice A (10 cm) is incorrect as it represents the number of millimeters in a centimeter. Choice C (1,000 cm) is incorrect as it represents the number of millimeters in a meter. Choice D (10,000 cm) is incorrect as it is ten times the actual number of centimeters in a meter.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To convert 0.20 liters to milliliters, we know that 1 liter is equal to 1000 milliliters. Therefore, 0.20 liters = 0.20 x 1000 = 200 milliliters. So, the correct answer is A: 200 ml. Choice B (20 ml) is incorrect as it represents 0.02 liters. Choice C (2 ml) is incorrect as it represents 0.002 liters. Choice D (2000 ml) is incorrect as it is the result of incorrectly multiplying 0.20 liters by 1000 twice.
