1. Convert 0.20 liters to milliliters. What is the equivalent volume?

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

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert liters to milliliters, you need to multiply by 1000 since there are 1000 milliliters in 1 liter. So, 0.20 liters x 1000 = 200 milliliters. This makes choice A, '200 ml,' the correct answer. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the correct conversion factor from liters to milliliters.

2. How many millimeters are in 0.75 centimeters?

• A. 7.5 mm
• B. 0.75 mm
• C. 75 mm
• D. 75 cm

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert centimeters to millimeters, you need to multiply by 10 since there are 10 millimeters in a centimeter. Therefore, 0.75 centimeters equals 0.75 x 10 = 7.5 millimeters, not 75 millimeters (Choice C). Choice A (7.5 mm) is the correct conversion, while Choice B (0.75 mm) and Choice D (75 cm) are incorrect conversions.

3. Convert 0.5 centimeters to millimeters.

• A. 5 mm
• B. 0.5 mm
• C. 50 mm
• D. 0.05 mm

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert centimeters to millimeters, you need to multiply by 10 since 1 centimeter equals 10 millimeters. Therefore, 0.5 centimeters is equal to 5 millimeters (0.5 * 10 = 5). Choice A, '5 mm,' is the correct answer. Choice B, '0.5 mm,' is incorrect as it would be equivalent to half a millimeter. Choice C, '50 mm,' is incorrect as it represents 50 millimeters, which would be the equivalent of 5 centimeters. Choice D, '0.05 mm,' is incorrect as it represents 0.05 millimeters, which is a fraction of 1 millimeter.

4. How many meters are equivalent to 3 kilometers?

• A. 300 meters
• B. 3,000 meters
• C. 30,000 meters
• D. 300,000 meters

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert from kilometers to meters, you need to multiply by 1,000 since there are 1,000 meters in a kilometer. Therefore, 3 kilometers is equal to 3,000 meters. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly convert kilometers to meters.

5. 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.
