1. Convert 1.5 kilometers to meters.

• A. 1,500 meters
• B. 150 meters
• C. 15,000 meters
• D. 1.5 meters

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert kilometers to meters, you need to multiply by 1,000 since there are 1,000 meters in a kilometer. Therefore, 1.5 kilometers is equal to 1,500 meters (1.5 x 1,000 = 1,500). Choice A, '1,500 meters,' is the correct answer. Choice B, '150 meters,' is incorrect as it represents converting 0.15 kilometers to meters. Choice C, '15,000 meters,' is incorrect as it represents multiplying by 10,000 instead of 1,000. Choice D, '1.5 meters,' is incorrect as it doesn't convert the kilometers to meters accurately.

2. How many pints are in one quart?

• A. 1 pint
• B. 2 pints
• C. 3 pints
• D. 4 pints

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 2 pints. There are 2 pints in one quart. A quart is equivalent to 2 pints, so each quart contains 2 pints. Choice A, 1 pint, is incorrect because a quart consists of more than 1 pint. Choice C, 3 pints, and Choice D, 4 pints, are also incorrect as they do not accurately represent the conversion of quarts to pints.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. What is the value of one femtometer (fm) in meters?

• A. 10^-15 meters
• B. 10^-9 meters
• C. 10^-12 meters
• D. 10^-18 meters

Correct answer: A

Rationale: A femtometer is equivalent to 10^-15 meters. The prefix 'femto-' signifies a factor of one quadrillionth (10^-15), making choice A the correct answer. Choice B (10^-9 meters) represents a nanometer, not a femtometer. Choice C (10^-12 meters) corresponds to a picometer, not a femtometer. Choice D (10^-18 meters) is even smaller than a femtometer and refers to an attometer, not a femtometer.
