problems 4.6
convert the metric measures.

1. 3500 ml =
2. 520 mg =
3. 1800 mcg =
4. 750 ml =
5. 150 mg =
6. 250 mcg =
7. 1200 mg =
8. 600 ml =
9. 100 mg =
10. 950 mcg =

answers 1. 3.5 l 2. 0.52 g 3. 1.8 mg 4. 0.75 l 5. 0.15 g 6. 0.25 mg 7. 1.2 g 8. 0.6 l 9. 0.1 g 10. 0.95 mg

Explanation:

Step1: Recall metric - conversion factors

$1L = 1000mL$, $1g=1000mg$, $1mg = 1000mcg$.

Step2: Convert $3500mL$ to $L$

$3500\div1000 = 3.5L$.

Step3: Convert $520mg$ to $g$

$520\div1000=0.52g$.

Step4: Convert $1800mcg$ to $mg$

$1800\div1000 = 1.8mg$.

Step5: Convert $750mL$ to $L$

$750\div1000=0.75L$.

Step6: Convert $150mg$ to $g$

$150\div1000 = 0.15g$.

Step7: Convert $250mcg$ to $mg$

$250\div1000=0.25mg$.

Step8: Convert $1200mg$ to $g$

$1200\div1000 = 1.2g$.

Step9: Convert $600mL$ to $L$

$600\div1000=0.6L$.

Step10: Convert $100mg$ to $g$

$100\div1000 = 0.1g$.

Step11: Convert $950mcg$ to $mg$

$950\div1000=0.95mg$.
