1. Convert 100 grams to kilograms.

• A. 0.1 kg
• B. 1 kg
• C. 10 kg
• D. 0.01 kg

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert grams to kilograms, you need to divide by 1000 since there are 1000 grams in a kilogram. So, 100 grams divided by 1000 equals 0.1 kilograms, making choice A the correct answer. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not involve the correct conversion factor or calculation. Choice B of 1 kg is the equivalent of 1000 grams, which is 10 times the given value of 100 grams, making it too large. Choice C of 10 kg is 100 times the given value, and choice D of 0.01 kg is 10 times smaller than the correct conversion.

2. What is the metric prefix for 10^-12 and how does it relate to meters?

• A. pico- (p) = 10^-12 meters
• B. nano- (n) = 10^-12 meters
• C. femto- (f) = 10^-12 meters
• D. pico- (p) = 10^-15 meters

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The prefix 'femto-' stands for 10^-15, making femtometer equal to 10^-15 meters. The incorrect choices are A and B because 'pico-' represents 10^-12 (picometer) and 'nano-' represents 10^-9 (nanometer), respectively. Choice D is also incorrect as 'pico-' is associated with 10^-12, not 10^-15.

3. Convert 0.6 liters to milliliters.

• A. 60 ml
• B. 600 ml
• C. 6 ml
• D. 6000 ml

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert 0.6 liters to milliliters, you need to multiply by 1000 since 1 liter equals 1000 milliliters. 0.6 * 1000 = 600 ml, which is the correct answer. Choice A (60 ml) is incorrect because it represents 0.06 liters. Choice C (6 ml) is incorrect as it would be the milliliter equivalent for 0.006 liters. Choice D (6000 ml) is incorrect as it would be the milliliter equivalent for 6 liters.

4. What is the result of multiplying 0.15 by 3?

• A. 0.05
• B. 0.15
• C. 0.45
• D. 0.45

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: 0.45. To find the result of multiplying 0.15 by 3, you simply multiply the two numbers together, which gives you 0.45. Choice A (0.05) is incorrect as it is the result of dividing 0.15 by 3 instead of multiplying. Choice B (0.15) is the original number being multiplied and not the result. Choice D (0.45) is the same as the correct answer but is repeated for redundancy.

5. Which of the following is equal to 0.16 inches?

• A. 0.016 inches
• B. 0.16 inches
• C. 1.6 inches
• D. 16 inches

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 0.16 inches. This value is already in its simplest form and represents sixteen one-hundredths of an inch. Choice A, 0.016 inches, is incorrect as it represents sixteen thousandths of an inch, not the given value. Choice C, 1.6 inches, is incorrect as it represents one and six-tenths inches, which is larger than the given value. Choice D, 16 inches, is incorrect as it represents sixteen inches, which is significantly larger than the given value of 0.16 inches.
