1. 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.

2. What is 0.75 as a fraction?

• A. 3/4
• B. 7/10
• C. 15/20
• D. 1/2

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert a decimal to a fraction, you can write the decimal as a fraction with the decimal part as the numerator and a power of 10 as the denominator. In this case, 0.75 can be written as 75/100. Simplifying this fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 25 gives you 3/4. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B (7/10), Choice C (15/20), and Choice D (1/2) are incorrect because they do not represent the correct conversion of 0.75 into a fraction.

3. What is the term for the amount of space an object occupies?

• A. mass
• B. volume
• C. density
• D. area

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct term for the amount of space an object occupies is 'volume.' Volume refers to the three-dimensional space that an object occupies and is measured in cubic units like cubic meters. 'Mass' (Choice A) refers to the amount of matter in an object, 'density' (Choice C) is the mass per unit volume of a substance, and 'area' (Choice D) is the measurement of the extent of a surface.

4. How many centimeters are in one millimeter?

• A. 1/100 cm
• B. 0.1 cm
• C. 1 cm
• D. 10 cm

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 0.1 cm. One millimeter is equal to 0.1 centimeters, not 1/100th cm as mentioned in choice A. Choice C, 1 cm, is incorrect as a millimeter is smaller than a centimeter. Choice D, 10 cm, is incorrect as it incorrectly magnifies the conversion, making a millimeter larger than a centimeter. Therefore, the accurate conversion is that one millimeter equals 0.1 centimeters.

5. How many feet are in one mile?

• A. 5000 feet
• B. 5280 feet
• C. 5300 feet
• D. 5500 feet

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 5280 feet. One mile is equivalent to 5280 feet. This is a standard conversion that is widely known. Choice A (5000 feet) is incorrect as it is not the exact conversion of a mile. Choice C (5300 feet) and choice D (5500 feet) are also incorrect as they do not represent the accurate conversion from miles to feet.
