Final answer:

To convert 14.8 grams to micrograms, multiply by 1,000,000. To convert 3.72 x 10^-3 kilograms to grams, multiply by 1000. To convert 66.3 liters to cubic centimeters, multiply by 1000.

Step-by-step explanation:

a. To convert grams to micrograms, we need to multiply by the conversion factor 1 gram = 1,000,000 micrograms. Therefore, 14.8 grams in micrograms is 14.8 x 1,000,000 = 14,800,000 micrograms. b. To convert kilograms to grams, we need to multiply by the conversion factor 1 kilogram = 1000 grams. Therefore, 3.72 x 10^-3 kilograms in grams is 3.72 x 10^-3 x 1000 = 3.72 grams. c. To convert liters to cubic centimeters, we need to multiply by the conversion factor 1 liter = 1000 cubic centimeters. Therefore, 66.3 liters in cubic centimeters is 66.3 x 1000 = 66,300 cubic centimeters.
