1. Convert 0.007 kilograms to grams.

• A. 7 grams
• B. 70 grams
• C. 0.07 grams
• D. 0.70 grams

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert kilograms to grams, you need to multiply by 1000 since there are 1000 grams in a kilogram. Therefore, 0.007 kilograms is equal to 0.007 x 1000 = 7 grams. Choice A is correct. Choice B is incorrect as it incorrectly multiplies by 10 instead of 1000. Choice C is incorrect as it incorrectly moves the decimal point one place to the right. Choice D is incorrect as it incorrectly moves the decimal point two places to the right.

2. Lights out on the base is at 10:30 P.M. What would that be in military time?

• A. 1030
• B. 1300
• C. 1230
• D. 2230

Correct answer: D

Rationale: In military time, the time of 10:30 P.M. is represented as 2230. Military time follows a 24-hour clock system where hours are not converted to a 12-hour clock. Each hour is represented from 00 to 23. Therefore, 10:30 P.M. in military time is 2230. Choice A, 1030, is incorrect as it represents 10:30 A.M. Choice B, 1300, stands for 1:00 P.M., and Choice C, 1230, is equivalent to 12:30 P.M. Hence, the correct answer is D.

3. How many milliliters are in 1 liter?

• A. 100 mL
• B. 1,000 mL
• C. 500 mL
• D. 50 mL

Correct answer: B

Rationale: There are 1,000 milliliters in 1 liter. The prefix 'milli-' means one-thousandth, so when converting from liters to milliliters, you multiply by 1,000. Therefore, the correct answer is 1,000 mL. Choice A (100 mL) is incorrect as it represents one-tenth of the correct conversion. Choice C (500 mL) is incorrect as it is half of the correct conversion. Choice D (50 mL) is incorrect as it is one-twentieth of the correct conversion.

4. Rewrite the following expression as a decimal: 5/8

• A. 0.7
• B. 0.325
• C. 0.625
• D. 5.8

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert a fraction to a decimal, divide the numerator by the denominator. In this case, 5 ÷ 8 = 0.625. Therefore, the correct answer is 0.625. Choice A (0.7) is incorrect as it represents 7/10, choice B (0.325) is incorrect as it represents 325/1000, and choice D (5.8) is incorrect as it is not the result of dividing 5 by 8.

5. What is the result of the addition: 34 + 4 + 234?

• A. 70.2
• B. 230.72
• C. 234.74
• D. 272

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Adding the given numbers together: 34 + 4 + 234 = 272. The correct sum is 272. Choice A, 70.2, is incorrect as it does not reflect the accurate addition of the numbers. Choice B, 230.72, is incorrect as well. Choice C, 234.74, is also incorrect since the correct sum is 272, not 234.74.
