Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). Convert 3 cups to millilitres, using 1 cup = 8 fl oz = 240 mL. Find V.

3 cups1 cup = 8 fl oz = 240 mL
V = mL
2.Easy
kg× 1000g× 1000mg× 1000mcg75 mcg?

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). Convert 75 mcg to mg: find x.

75 mcg1 mg = 1000 mcg
x = mg
3.Medium
51.8621 kg? kground to 0.1 kg

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A weight conversion gives 51.8621 kg. The rule in this exercise is that weights are rounded to the nearest tenth of a kilogram. What value x do you record?

51.8621 kg
x = kg
