1. Convert 0.1 liter to milliliters.

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

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert 0.1 liters to milliliters, you need to multiply by 1000, not 10000. Therefore, 0.1 liter converts to 100 ml. Choice A (10 ml) is incorrect because it is the equivalent of 0.01 liter. Choice C (1000 ml) is incorrect as it represents 1 liter. Choice D (1 ml) is significantly less than the correct conversion.

2. How many millimeters (mm) are in 3.45 meters?

• A. 345 mm
• B. 3,450 mm
• C. 345,000 mm
• D. 3.45 mm

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert meters to millimeters, you need to multiply by 1,000 because there are 1,000 millimeters in a meter. Therefore, 3.45 meters × 1,000 = 3,450 millimeters. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the correct conversion factor from meters to millimeters.

3. How many centimeters are in 0.25 meters?

• A. 2.5 cm
• B. 25 cm
• C. 250 cm
• D. 0.25 cm

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert meters to centimeters, you need to multiply by 100 since there are 100 centimeters in a meter. Therefore, 0.25 meters x 100 = 25 centimeters. Choice A, '2.5 cm,' is incorrect as it is the result of multiplying by 10 instead of 100. Choice C, '250 cm,' is incorrect as it is the result of multiplying by 1000. Choice D, '0.25 cm,' is incorrect as it suggests the conversion is in the opposite direction, from centimeters to meters.

4. What is the correct conversion of 35,400 milligrams to grams (g)?

• A. 35.4 g
• B. 35.4 g
• C. 354 g
• D. 354,000 g

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert milligrams to grams, you need to divide by 1,000 because there are 1,000 milligrams in a gram. Therefore, 35,400 mg ÷ 1,000 = 35.4 grams. Choice A is incorrect because it does not account for the conversion from milligrams to grams. Choice C is incorrect as it incorrectly drops a zero, leading to an inaccurate conversion. Choice D is incorrect as it incorrectly multiplies instead of dividing, resulting in a significantly larger value than the correct answer.

5. How many milliliters are in 1 ounce?

• A. 20 ml
• B. 30 ml
• C. 40 ml
• D. 50 ml

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 30 ml. 1 ounce is equivalent to 30 milliliters. This conversion is a common one in many contexts involving liquid measurements. Choice A (20 ml), Choice C (40 ml), and Choice D (50 ml) are incorrect conversions and do not represent the accurate conversion between ounces and milliliters.
