1. Convert 0.004 to a ratio.

• A. 1:250
• B. 4:200
• C. 2:400
• D. 9:200

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert 0.004 to a ratio, we can express it as 4/1000, which simplifies to 1/250. Therefore, the correct ratio is 1:250. Choice B (4:200) is incorrect as it simplifies to 1:50, not 1:250. Choice C (2:400) simplifies to 1:200, which is also incorrect. Choice D (9:200) simplifies to a ratio greater than 1:1, which is not equivalent to 1:250.

2. What is 0.1 liter converted to milliliters?

• A. 10 ml
• B. 100 ml
• C. 1000 ml
• D. 1 ml

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert 0.1 liter to milliliters, you need to multiply by 1000 because there are 1000 milliliters in a liter. Therefore, 0.1 liter converts to 100 milliliters. Choice A (10 ml) is incorrect as it represents 0.01 liters, not 0.1 liters. Choice C (1000 ml) is incorrect as it represents 1 liter, not 0.1 liters. Choice D (1 ml) is incorrect as it is too small a quantity for 0.1 liters.

3. The prefix giga is represented by the following notation ________.

• A. G
• B. m
• C. Gg
• D. g

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'G'. The prefix 'giga' is commonly represented by the letter 'G' and corresponds to a factor of 10^9, which is equivalent to one billion. Choice B, 'm', represents the prefix 'milli', which corresponds to a factor of 10^-3, not 'giga'. Choice C, 'Gg', is incorrect as the prefix 'giga' is represented by a single letter 'G', not 'Gg'. Choice D, 'g', is incorrect as it represents the prefix 'gram' in the International System of Units (SI) and not the prefix 'giga'.

4. How many ounces are in 0.5 liters?

• A. 16.91 oz
• B. 15.91 oz
• C. 17.91 oz
• D. 18.91 oz

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert liters to ounces, you need to multiply the volume in liters by 33.814. In this case, 0.5 liters multiplied by 33.814 equals approximately 16.91 ounces. This conversion is commonly used in culinary and liquid measurements. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct conversion factor from liters to ounces.

5. What is 0.26 as a fraction in simplest form?

• A. 13/50
• B. 26/100
• C. 26/1000
• D. 1/4

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert 0.26 to a fraction, we write it as 26/100. To simplify this fraction, we divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2 in this case. Dividing 26 and 100 by 2 results in 13/50. Therefore, 0.26 as a fraction in simplest form is 13/50. Choice B (26/100) is the original form of the decimal, not simplified. Choice C (26/1000) is incorrect as it doesn't match the decimal representation. Choice D (1/4) is not the equivalent fraction for 0.26.
