Explanation:

Step1: Recall metric - conversion factors

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

Step2: Convert 160 mg to g

Since 1 g = 1000 mg, then $160\ mg=\frac{160}{1000}g = 0.16\ g$.

Step3: Convert 10 kg to g

Since 1 kg = 1000 g, then $10\ kg=10\times1000g = 10000\ g$.

Step4: Convert 1500 mcg to mg

Since 1 mg = 1000 mcg, then $1500\ mcg=\frac{1500}{1000}mg = 1.5\ mg$.

Step5: Convert 750 mg to g

Since 1 g = 1000 mg, then $750\ mg=\frac{750}{1000}g = 0.75\ g$.

Step6: Convert 200 mL to L

Since 1 L = 1000 mL, then $200\ mL=\frac{200}{1000}L = 0.2\ L$.

Step7: Convert 0.3 g to mg

Since 1 g = 1000 mg, then $0.3\ g=0.3\times1000mg = 300\ mg$.

Step8: Convert 0.05 g to mg

Since 1 g = 1000 mg, then $0.05\ g=0.05\times1000mg = 50\ mg$.

Step9: Convert 0.15 g to mg

Since 1 g = 1000 mg, then $0.15\ g=0.15\times1000mg = 150\ mg$.

Step10: Convert 1.2 L to mL

Since 1 L = 1000 mL, then $1.2\ L=1.2\times1000mL = 1200\ mL$.

Step11: Convert 1800 mL to L

Since 1 L = 1000 mL, then $1800\ mL=\frac{1800}{1000}L = 1.8\ L$.

Step12: Convert 2 mg to mcg

Since 1 mg = 1000 mcg, then $2\ mg=2\times1000mcg = 2000\ mcg$.

Step13: Convert 900 mcg to mg

Since 1 mg = 1000 mcg, then $900\ mcg=\frac{900}{1000}mg = 0.9\ mg$.

Step14: Convert 2.1 L to mL

Since 1 L = 1000 mL, then $2.1\ L=2.1\times1000mL = 2100\ mL$.

Step15: Convert 475 mL to L

Since 1 L = 1000 mL, then $475\ mL=\frac{475}{1000}L = 0.475\ L$.

Step16: Convert 0.9 L to mL

Since 1 L = 1000 mL, then $0.9\ L=0.9\times1000mL = 900\ mL$.

Step17: Convert 300 mg to g

Since 1 g = 1000 mg, then $300\ mg=\frac{300}{1000}g = 0.3\ g$.

Step18: Convert 2.5 mg to mcg

Since 1 mg = 1000 mcg, then $2.5\ mg=2.5\times1000mcg = 2500\ mcg$.

Step19: Convert 1 kL to L

Since 1 kL = 1000 L, then $1\ kL = 1000\ L$.

Step20: Convert 3 L to mL

Since 1 L = 1000 mL, then $3\ L=3\times1000mL = 3000\ mL$.

Step21: Convert 2 L to mL

Since 1 L = 1000 mL, then $2\ L=2\times1000mL = 2000\ mL$.

Step22: Convert 0.7 mg to mcg

Since 1 mg = 1000 mcg, then $0.7\ mg=0.7\times1000mcg = 700\ mcg$.

Step23: Convert 4 g to mg

Since 1 g = 1000 mg, then $4\ g=4\times1000mg = 4000\ mg$.

Step24: Convert 1000 mL to L

Since 1 L = 1000 mL, then $1000\ mL=\frac{1000}{1000}L = 1\ L$.

Step25: Convert 2500 mL to L

Since 1 L = 1000 mL, then $2500\ mL=\frac{2500}{1000}L = 2.5\ L$.

Step26: Convert 1000 mg to g

Since 1 g = 1000 mg, then $1000\ mg=\frac{1000}{1000}g = 1\ g$.

Step27: Convert 0.2 mg to mcg

Since 1 mg = 1000 mcg, then $0.2\ mg=0.2\times1000mcg = 200\ mcg$.

Step28: Convert 2000 g to kg

Since 1 kg = 1000 g, then $2000\ g=\frac{2000}{1000}kg = 2\ kg$.

Step29: Convert 1.4 g to mg

Since 1 g = 1000 mg, then $1.4\ g=1.4\times1000mg = 1400\ mg$.

Step30: Convert 2.5 L to mL

Since 1 L = 1000 mL, then $2.5\ L=2.5\times1000mL = 2500\ mL$.
