Metric Conversions for TEAS 7

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: 1000 milliliters. 1 liter is equivalent to 1000 milliliters. This is because the metric system is based on the powers of 10, so there are 1000 milliliters in 1 liter. Choice A, 1 kilogram, is a unit of mass and not volume. Choice B, 1 quart, is a unit of volume but is not equivalent to 1 liter. Choice C, 1 milliliter, is much smaller than 1 liter, as it would take 1000 milliliters to make up 1 liter.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: King Hector Died By Drinking Chocolate Milk. This mnemonic stands for kilo, hecto, deka, base unit, deci, centi, milli - the order of metric prefixes. It helps remember the order and conversion factors for metric units. Choice B is irrelevant and does not relate to metric conversions. Choice C is too general and does not provide a specific mnemonic for metric conversions. Choice D does not provide any helpful information or mnemonic for recalling metric conversions.

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: A

Rationale: To convert 0.875 to a fraction, we can write it as 875/1000 and simplify it to 7/8 by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 125. The correct answer is A (7/8). Choice B (9/10) is incorrect as it does not represent 0.875. Choices C (5/6) and D (3/4) are also incorrect fractions as they do not equal 0.875 when converted.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To convert grams to milligrams, you multiply by 1000 since 1 gram = 1000 milligrams. Therefore, 0.4 grams x 1000 = 400 mg. Choice A (400 mg) is correct. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not follow the correct conversion factor of 1 gram = 1000 milligrams.
