1. Convert 0.2 liters to milliliters.

• A. 20 ml
• B. 200 ml
• C. 2 ml
• D. 2000 ml

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert 0.2 liters to milliliters, you need to multiply by 1000 because there are 1000 milliliters in 1 liter. Therefore, 0.2 liters x 1000 = 200 ml. Choice A (20 ml) is incorrect because it represents 0.02 liters, not 0.2 liters. Choice C (2 ml) is incorrect as it represents 0.002 liters. Choice D (2000 ml) is incorrect as it represents 2 liters, not 0.2 liters.

2. What is 0.5 multiplied by 20?

• A. 10
• B. 15
• C. 20
• D. 25

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the product of 0.5 and 20, you multiply them together. 0.5 x 20 = 10. This calculation involves multiplying a decimal (0.5) by a whole number (20). Choice A, '10', is the correct answer. Choice B, '15', is incorrect as it does not accurately represent the result of multiplying 0.5 by 20. Choices C and D, '20' and '25', are also incorrect as they do not reflect the correct calculation. This question assesses your ability to perform basic arithmetic operations involving decimals and whole numbers.

3. What is the equivalent of 0.3 mg in ml?

• A. 0.3 ml
• B. 3 ml
• C. 30 ml
• D. 0.03 ml

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 0.3 ml. To convert milligrams (mg) to milliliters (ml), you typically need the substance's density. However, in many medical contexts, especially with liquid medications similar in density to water, 0.3 mg is commonly assumed to be equivalent to 0.3 ml. Choice B (3 ml) is incorrect as it is 10 times greater than the correct conversion. Choice C (30 ml) is incorrect as it is 100 times greater than the correct conversion. Choice D (0.03 ml) is incorrect as it is one-tenth of the correct conversion.

4. How many milliliters are there in 0.5 liters?

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

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert liters to milliliters, you need to multiply by 1000 since there are 1000 milliliters in a liter. Therefore, 0.5 liters is equal to 500 milliliters. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the correct conversion from liters to milliliters.

5. What is 0.16 as a fraction?

• A. 16\100
• B. 16\1000
• C. 4\25
• D. 4\50

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert 0.16 into a fraction, you write it as 16\100, which simplifies to 4\25. This fraction is in its simplest form and accurately represents the original decimal value without further reduction. Choice A (16\1000) is incorrect because the fraction is not simplified, and Choice D (4\50) is incorrect as it simplifies to 2\25, not representing the original decimal value. Therefore, Choice C is the correct answer.
