Metric Conversions for TEAS 7

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To convert 0.1 liters to milliliters, you need to multiply by 1000 since there are 1000 milliliters in 1 liter. So, 0.1 * 1000 = 100 ml, which is the correct answer (B). Choice A (10 ml) is incorrect as it represents 0.01 liters, choice C (1000 ml) is incorrect as it represents 1 liter, and choice D (1 ml) is incorrect as it is too small for 0.1 liters.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 0.1 cm. 1 millimeter is equal to 0.1 centimeters because there are 10 millimeters in 1 centimeter. To convert millimeters to centimeters, you divide by 10. Choice A (1/100 cm) is incorrect because 1 millimeter is not equal to 1/100 of a centimeter. Choice C (1 cm) is incorrect because 1 millimeter is smaller than 1 centimeter. Choice D (10 cm) is incorrect because 1 millimeter is not equal to 10 centimeters; it is only 0.1 centimeters.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To convert liters to milliliters, you multiply by 1000 since there are 1000 milliliters in 1 liter. So, 0.6 liters x 1000 ml = 600 ml. Choice B (600 ml) is correct. Choice A (60 ml) is incorrect as it is 10 times less. Choice C (6 ml) is incorrect as it is 100 times less. Choice D (6000 ml) is incorrect as it is 10 times more.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 2 cups in one pint. A pint is equivalent to 2 cups in the US customary system of measurement. This conversion is based on the fact that 1 pint is equal to 16 fluid ounces, and 1 cup is equal to 8 fluid ounces. Therefore, 16 fluid ounces (1 pint) divided by 8 fluid ounces (1 cup) equals 2 cups. The other choices are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the conversion between pints and cups. Choice A (1 cup) is incorrect as it does not match the conversion factor. Choices C (3 cups) and D (4 cups) are incorrect as they provide values that do not align with the correct measurement relationship between pints and cups.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To convert milligrams to grams, we divide by 1000 since there are 1000 milligrams in a gram. Therefore, 5,000 mg ÷ 1000 = 5 grams. Choice B is correct. Choice A (50 grams) is incorrect as it is 10 times the correct answer. Choice C (500 grams) is incorrect as it is 100 times the correct answer. Choice D (0.05 grams) is incorrect as it is 100 times less than the correct answer.
