1. Convert 1.25 kilograms to grams.

• A. 12.5 grams
• B. 125 grams
• C. 1,250 grams
• D. 1250 mg

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert kilograms to grams, you need to multiply by 1000 since there are 1000 grams in a kilogram. Therefore, 1.25 kilograms is equal to 1.25 x 1000 = 1,250 grams. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly convert kilograms to grams.

2. What is 0.5 liters in ml?

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

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 500 ml. To convert liters to milliliters, you multiply the number of liters by 1000 because 1 liter is equal to 1000 milliliters. Therefore, 0.5 liters x 1000 = 500 milliliters. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly convert 0.5 liters to milliliters based on the conversion factor of 1000 ml per liter.

3. What is 0.04 g in mg?

• A. 40 mg
• B. 400 mg
• C. 4 mg
• D. 0.4 mg

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert grams to milligrams, you multiply by 1000 since there are 1000 milligrams in a gram. Therefore, to convert 0.04 grams to milligrams, you would do 0.04 * 1000 = 40 mg. Choice A, '40 mg,' is the correct answer. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly convert grams to milligrams. Choice B, '400 mg,' is incorrect because it mistakenly multiplies by 10 instead of 1000. Choice C, '4 mg,' is incorrect because it does not account for the correct conversion factor. Choice D, '0.4 mg,' is incorrect because it underestimates the conversion by a factor of 10.

4. What is 0.3 as a fraction in simplest form?

• A. 3/10
• B. 1/3
• C. 1/4
• D. 1/5

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert 0.3 to a fraction, we take 0.3 and express it as 3/10. This fraction is already in its simplest form because 3 and 10 do not have any common factors other than 1. Choice B, 1/3, is incorrect as it represents a different value. Choice C, 1/4, and Choice D, 1/5, are also incorrect as they do not match the equivalent fraction for 0.3.

5. What is 0.6 liters converted to milliliters?

• A. 600 ml
• B. 60 ml
• C. 6 ml
• D. 0.6 ml

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert 0.6 liters to milliliters, you need to multiply by 1,000 since there are 1,000 milliliters in a liter. Therefore, 0.6 liters equals 600 milliliters. Choice B (60 ml) is incorrect as it is a conversion of 0.06 liters, not 0.6 liters. Choice C (6 ml) is incorrect as it represents a conversion of 0.006 liters, not 0.6 liters. Choice D (0.6 ml) is incorrect as it is the original amount in milliliters, not the converted amount from liters.
