Conversions

Example: Conversion Kilogram to Pounds

1) Convert 3 Kilograms to pounds 2) 3 Kilograms * 2.2 = 6.6 pounds

Example: Conversion Pounds to Kilograms

1) Convert 6.6 pounds to Kilograms 2) 6.6 / 2.2 = 3 Kilograms

1 liter = 1000 milliliters

1) The key to working a liter to milliliter problem (or vice versa) is to know the conversion factor. 2) There are 1000 milliliters in each liter. 3) Because this is a factor of 10, you don't actually have to break out the calculator to do a conversion. 4) You can simply move the decimal point. 5) Move it three spaces to the right to convert liters to milliliters (e.g., 5.442 L = 5443 ml) or three spaces to the left to convert milliliters to liters (e.g., 45 ml = 0.045 L).

Problem How many milliliters are in a 5.0-liter canister?

Solution 1 liter = 1000 mL Set up the conversion so the desired unit will be canceled out. In this case, we want mL to be the remaining unit. Volume in mL = (Volume in L) x (1000 mL/1 L) Volume in mL = 5.0 L x (1000 mL/1 L) Volume in mL = 5000 mL Answer There are 5000 mL in a 5.0-liter canister.

1 kilogram = 2.2 pounds

Steps 1) Write the number of kilograms. 2) multiply your kilogram measurement by 2.2. ... ** For greater accuracy, multiply by 2.2046. ... 3) To get back to kilograms, divide by 2.2.

1 Kilogram = 1000 grams

The mass m in grams (g) is equal to the mass m in kilograms (kg) times 1000: m(g) = m(kg) × 1000

1 gram = 1000 milligrams

The mass m in grams (g) is equal to the mass m in milligrams (mg) divided by 1000: m(g) = m(mg) / 1000

1 milligram = 1000 micrograms Converting mg to mcg (μg)

To convert mg (each of which = 1 × 10-3 g) to mcg, simply multiply by 1,000. **This is because 10-3/10-6 = 103, or 1,000.

Example: Convert 5 g to milligrams

m(mg) = 5 g × 1000 = 5000 mg

What is 500 micrograms written as milligrams?

Micrograms to Milligrams 1 Micrograms = 0.001 Milligrams 10 Micrograms = 0.01 Milligrams 2500 Micrograms = 2.5 Milligrams 8 Micrograms = 0.008 Milligrams 500 Micrograms = 0.5 Milligrams 500000 Micrograms = 500 Milligrams 9 Micrograms = 0.009 Milligrams 1000 Micrograms = 1 Milligrams 1000000 Micrograms = 1000 Milligrams
