Question: 1 / 400

How many micrograms are equivalent to 0.001 mg?

0.01 micrograms

0.1 micrograms

1 micrograms

In the metric system, the conversion between milligrams (mg) and micrograms (mcg) is that 1 milligram is equal to 1000 micrograms. Therefore, to convert from milligrams to micrograms, you would multiply the number of milligrams by 1000.

Given that 0.001 mg is the same as 1/1000 mg, when you multiply 0.001 mg by 1000, you get 1 microgram. So, 1 microgram is equivalent to 0.001 mg. This is why the correct answer is 1 microgram (Choice C).

The other options are incorrect because:

- 0.01 micrograms (Choice A) is 10 times smaller than the correct answer.

- 0.1 micrograms (Choice B) is 100 times greater than the correct answer.

- 10 micrograms (Choice D) is 10 times larger than the correct answer.
