1. Convert 0.07 to a fraction.

• A. 7/100
• B. 1/10
• C. 1/20
• D. 1/50

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert 0.07 to a fraction, we note that 0.07 is equivalent to 7/100. This is because 0.07 can be read as 7 hundredths. Thus, the correct fraction form is 7/100. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect. Choice B, 1/10, is the fraction equivalent to 0.1, not 0.07. Choice C, 1/20, and Choice D, 1/50, are also incorrect as they do not represent the value of 0.07 when converted to a fraction.

2. What does the prefix 'milli' mean?

• A. 0.01
• B. 0.001
• C. 0.0001
• D. 0.00001

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The prefix 'milli' means one-thousandth, which is equivalent to 0.001 of the base unit. For instance, 1 millimeter is equal to 0.001 meters. Choice A (0.01) is incorrect as it represents one-hundredth, not one-thousandth. Choice C (0.0001) is incorrect as it signifies ten-thousandth, not one-thousandth. Choice D (0.00001) is incorrect as it stands for one-hundred-thousandth, not one-thousandth.

3. The SI prefixes micro and milli represent, respectively:

• A. 10^-6 and 10^-3
• B. 10^-9 and 10^-6
• C. 10^-12 and 10^-9
• D. 10^-15 and 10^-12

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The prefixes 'micro-' and 'milli-' represent 10^-6 and 10^-3, respectively. 'Micro-' denotes one-millionth (10^-6), while 'milli-' denotes one-thousandth (10^-3). Choice B is incorrect because it confuses the order of magnitudes for micro and milli. Choice C and D are also incorrect as they provide the wrong values for the prefixes micro and milli.

4. What is 0.5 liter in ml?

• A. 500 ml
• B. 50 ml
• C. 5 ml
• D. 0.5 ml

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert liters to milliliters, you multiply the number of liters by 1000. Therefore, 0.5 liters equals 500 milliliters. This conversion is standard in various fields, making choice A the correct answer. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly convert liters to milliliters.

5. What is 0.5 x 200?

• A. 100
• B. 50
• C. 150
• D. 200

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the product of 0.5 and 200, you multiply the two numbers, which equals 100. The correct answer is A. Choice B, 50, is the result of multiplying 0.5 by 100 instead of 200. Choice C, 150, is the result of adding 0.5 and 200 instead of multiplying them. Choice D, 200, is the second number in the multiplication operation and not the correct product.
