Metric Conversions for Nursing Questions
Question 1 of 5
How many millimeters (mm) are in 3.45 meters?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: 3,450 mm. To convert meters to millimeters, we know that 1 meter is equal to 1,000 millimeters. Therefore, to find how many millimeters are in 3.45 meters, we multiply 3.45 by 1,000, which equals 3,450 mm. Incorrect choices: A: 345 mm - Incorrect because it is the result of multiplying 3.45 by 100 (not 1,000). C: 345,000 mm - Incorrect as it is the result of incorrectly multiplying 3.45 by 100,000. D: 3.45 mm - Incorrect as it is the original amount in meters, not the converted amount in millimeters.
Question 2 of 5
Convert 100 grams to kilograms.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To convert grams to kilograms, divide the number of grams by 1000. In this case, 100 grams divided by 1000 equals 0.1 kilograms (A). Choice B is incorrect because it represents the equivalent of 1000 grams, not 100 grams. Choice C is incorrect as it represents 10 times the amount of 100 grams. Choice D is incorrect as it represents one-hundredth of 100 grams, not the correct conversion.
Question 3 of 5
What is 0.125 as a fraction?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To convert 0.125 to a fraction, we observe that the decimal has 3 decimal places, so the denominator should be 1000. Thus, 0.125 as a fraction is 125/1000, which simplifies to 1/8 by dividing both numerator and denominator by 125. Therefore, the correct answer is A: 1/8. Option B: 1/4 is incorrect because 0.125 is smaller than 0.25. Option C: 1/2 is incorrect as 0.125 is smaller than 0.5. Option D: 1/16 is incorrect as it is too small to represent 0.125.
Question 4 of 5
Convert 2500 milliliters to liters.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To convert milliliters to liters, you need to divide by 1000 since there are 1000 milliliters in 1 liter. So, 2500 milliliters ÷ 1000 = 2.5 liters (Option A). Option B (25 liters) is 10 times the correct answer. Option C (0.25 liters) is dividing by 10 instead of 1000. Option D (250 liters) is multiplying by 100 instead of dividing by 1000.
Question 5 of 5
How many millimeters are in 5 centimeters?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To convert centimeters to millimeters, we multiply by 10 since there are 10 millimeters in 1 centimeter. Therefore, 5 cm x 10 = 50 mm. Thus, the correct answer is A. Option B (500 mm) is incorrect as it is the result of multiplying 5 cm by 100 instead of 10. Option C (5 mm) is incorrect as it represents the original value in centimeters, not the converted value in millimeters. Option D (500 cm) is incorrect as it is the original value in centimeters, not the converted value in millimeters.
