, Conversion Table to be Memorized
Conversion Table
Metric Volume Weights: Apothecary/

Household to Metric

1 L= 1000 mL 1 gr = 60 mg

15 gr = 1 g

Metric Weight 2.2 lbs = 1 kg

1000 mcg = 1 mg Solutions

1000 mg = 1 g 1 g per 100 mL = 1% solution

1000 g = 1 kg 25 g per 100 mL = 25 % solution

Length 100 g per 100 mL = 100% solution

1 inch = 2.5 centimeters


Liquids

1 mL = 1cc 15 mL = 3 tsp 2 c = 1 pt

1 mL = 15 gtts 15 mL = 1 Tbs 1000 mL = 1 qt

1 mL = 15 minims 30 mL = 1 oz 32 oz = 1 qt

1 mL = 60 microdrops 1 Tbs = 3 tsp 1 L = 1 qt

4 mL = 1 dram 8 dram = 1 oz 1 L = 1000 mL

5 mL = 1 tsp 240 mL = 1 c 4 qt = 1 gal

500 mL = 1 pt

, Conversions: Metric, Apothecary, and Household System
Converting from one unit to another using the conversion factor method

• Recall the equivalents

• Multiply or divide
Rule to convert from a larger to a smaller unit measurement, multiply by the
conversion factor.

Think: “Larger is going down to smaller, so you will multiply.”

Larger↓ Smaller→ Multiply (X)

Example: How many cups are in 3 quart? You know that 1 quart =4 cups.
Cups are smaller than quarts. THINK:
LARGER↓SMALLER→MULTIPLY(X)

The conversion Factor is 4 cups /1 quart

Multiply by the conversion factor

Quarts (larger unit) X conversion factor (cups/qt) = cups (smaller unit) 3

qt X 4 cups/qt = 12 cups



Rule to convert from a smaller to a larger unit of measurement, divide by the conversion
factor.

THINK: “Smaller is going to larger, so you will divide.” Smaller ↑ Larger → Divide (

) Example: How many quarts are in 8 cups?

You know that 1 qt= 4 cups. The conversion factor is 4 cups/1 quart. Quarts are larger
than cups. Divide by the conversion factor because it takes fewer of the quart unit to equal
the same amount of the cup unit. THINK: SMALLER ↑LARGER → Divide 8 cups
4 cups/qt = 2 qt
