Metric
Convert the following measurement to liters. If needed round to the tenths decimal place:
6 543 000 mL =
6543 L
6 543 000 mL divide by 1000
Convert the following measurement to kilograms:
23 c (cups) + 6.5 tbsp =
Round to the nearest hundredth place
Convert cups to mL - 1 cup = 240 mL
23 cups x 240 mL =5520 mL
convert tbsp to mL - 1 tbsp = 15 mL
6.5 x 15 = 97.5 + 5520 mL =5617.5 mL
5617.5 mL /1000 = 5.62 L =5.62 kg
Is the following statement true or false?
iiss tsp = 2.5 mL
False
2.5 tsp = 12.5 ml (2.5 x 5 mls)
you would need to write ss tsp = 2.5 mls
A patient takes 1 tsp of amoxicillin 240 mg /1 mL. How many grams are in one dose?
Round to the hundredth-place value
Convert mg to g = 240 mg / 1000 = 0.24 g
0.24 g/1 ml = x/5 ml
1.2 g in one dose
Convert the following measurement to milligrams:
7 tbsp + 3.5 tsp =
Round to the nearest hundredth place value
Convert to mL - 1 tbsp = 15 mL
7 tbsp x 15 ml = 105 mL
1 tsp = 5 mL x 3.5 tsp = 17.5 ml
122.5 ml x 1000 = 122, 500 mg
1 ml = 1000 mg
Convert the following measurement to micrograms. If needed round to the tenths decimal place:
18 g =
18 000 000 mcg
multiply 18 by 1,000,000
A vaccine arrives from America. You have a refrigerator in the pharmacy that maintains a constant setting of 1 °C to 7 °C as required by Alberta Health Services for vaccines. What is the maximum temperature in °F that the side of the box can indicate for storage of the American vaccine in the refrigerator?
Round to the tenths place
Formula: F = 1.8C + 32
44.6 F
Maximum temp is 7 C
F = 1.8x7 +32
Convert 4.5 cups to L
1 cup = 240 mL
4.5 x 140 mL = 630 mL
630 mL divide by 1000 = 0.63 L answer
A patient takes 1 tbsp of amoxicillin 150 mg/3 mL. How many grams are in one dose?
round to the hundredth place value
Convert mg to g= 150 mg/1000 = 0.15g
0.15 g/3mL = x/15 mL
0.75 g
Convert the following measurement to grams:
48 lb =
Round to the hundredth place
Convert 48 lb to kg = 21.818181818
multiply by 1000 = 21,818.18 g
Convert the following measurement to litres. If needed round to the hundredths decimal place
24 mL
0.02 L
Divide 24 mL by 1000 = 0.024 = 0.02
A patient has a body temperature of 96.5 °F. What is their body temperature in °C?
Round the tenths place value
Formula: C = (F – 32) / 1.8
35.8 C
Convert 38 kg to lbs.
Convert 4.7 lb. to kg
Convert 4600 g to lbs.
Convert 2 lbs. 2 ounces to g.
83.6 lb. = 38 kg x 2.2
2.1 kg = 4.7 lbs. divide by 2.2
10.1 lbs. = 4600 g divide 454 (grams in 1 lb)
454 x 2 = 908 g. 2 ounces = 60 grams (1 ounce =30 grams) = 968 grams answer
Convert 400ppm w/v to mg/mL
0.4 mg/mL
400 ppm = 400 mg/L
1 L = 1000 mL So, 400 mg per 1000 mL
400 mg/1000 mL = 0.4 mg?mL
Convert 2000 mg to mcg
2 000 000 mcg
multiply by 1000
A patient has a body temperature of 36.9 °C. What is their body temperature in °F?
Round to the tenths place value
Formula: F = 1.8C + 32
98.4 F
Convert iii fl. oz. to mL
Convert ivss fl. oz. to mL
Convert 60 mL to fl. oz
Convert 90 g to oz.
1 fluid ounce in 30 mL 3 x 30 mL = 90 mL
4.5 x 30 mL = 135 mL
60 ml divide by 30 mL = 2 fl. oz
90 g divide by 30 = 3 oz
