fluid dram 1 = 1 teaspoon; 1 quart = fluid ounces 32
1 teaspoon = 5 milliliters; 1 teaspoon = 60 drops
fluid ounce 1 = fluid drams 8; 1 quart = 1 liter
fluid ounce 1 = 2 tablespoons; 1 inch = 2.54 centimeters
fluid ounce 1 = 30 milliliters; 1 cubic centimeter = 1 milliliter
1 1/2 inches = □ mm (type an integer or decimal rounded to the nearest tenth as needed.)

Explanation:

Step1: Convert inches to centimeters

We know that 1 inch = 2.54 centimeters. First, convert $1\frac{1}{2}$ inches to a decimal, $1\frac{1}{2}=1.5$ inches. Then multiply by the conversion factor: $1.5\times2.54 = 3.81$ centimeters.

Step2: Convert centimeters to millimeters

Since 1 centimeter = 10 millimeters, multiply the result from step 1 by 10: $3.81\times10=38.1$ millimeters.

Answer:

38.1
