1.Easy
3 cups? mL1 cup = 8 fl oz = 240 mL

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× 1000mcg50 mcg?

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). Convert 50 mcg to mg: find x.

50 mcg1 mg = 1000 mcg
x = mg
3.Medium
7 lb 6 oz? kg1 lb = 16 oz1 kg = 2.2 lb

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A newborn weighs 7 lb 6 oz. Using 1 lb = 16 oz and 1 kg = 2.2 lb, find the weight m in kilograms. Round to two decimal places.

7 lb 6 oz1 lb = 16 oz1 kg = 2.2 lb
m = kg
4.Medium
8 lb 14 oz? kg1 lb = 16 oz1 kg = 2.2 lb

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A newborn weighs 8 lb 14 oz. Using 1 lb = 16 oz and 1 kg = 2.2 lb, find the weight m in kilograms. Round to two decimal places.

m = kg
5.Hard
1 tbsp? mL½ fl oz? mL1½ cups? mLΣ = ? mL

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). During a shift a patient takes 1 tbsp of liquid supplement, ½ fl oz of juice, 1½ cups of tea. Using the equivalents given, find the total oral intake V in mL.

1 tbsp = 15 mL1 fl oz = 30 mL1 cup = 8 fl oz = 240 mL
V = mL
6.Hard
7.3 g/dL? g/L1 L = 10 dL

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A haemoglobin result is 7.3 g/dL. Express it in g/L Hb.

7.3 g/dL1 L = 10 dL
Hb = g/L

Answer key

  1. 1. V = 720 mL
  2. 2. x = 0.05 mg
  3. 3. m = 3.35 kg
  4. 4. m = 4.03 kg
  5. 5. V = 390 mL
