1.Easy
L× 1000mL1.5 L?

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). Convert 1.5 L to mL: find x.

1.5 L1 L = 1000 mL
x = mL
2.Easy
kg× 1000g× 1000mg× 1000mcg0.2 g?

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). Convert 0.2 g to mg: find x.

0.2 g1 g = 1000 mg
x = mg
3.Medium
6 ft 3 in1 ft = 12 in1 in = 2.54 cmh = ? cm

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A patient is 6 ft 3 in tall. Using 1 ft = 12 in and 1 in = 2.54 cm, find the height h in centimetres, to the nearest whole centimetre.

6 ft 3 in1 ft = 12 in1 in = 2.54 cm
h = cm
