1. Convert 3,450 grams to milligrams (mg).

• A. 34,500 mg
• B. 3,450,000 mg
• C. 3,450 mg
• D. 3,450,000 mg

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert grams to milligrams, you need to multiply by 1,000 since there are 1,000 milligrams in a gram. Therefore, 3,450 grams × 1,000 = 3,450,000 milligrams. Choice A (34,500 mg) is incorrect because it represents the result for converting grams to milligrams by a factor of 10 (not 1,000). Choice C (3,450 mg) is incorrect as it represents the original amount in grams, not the converted amount to milligrams. Choice D (3,450,000 mg) is incorrect as it is the same as the correct answer but with the comma in the wrong place, which would imply converting kilograms to milligrams rather than grams to milligrams.

2. How many ounces are in 2 quarts?

• A. 8 ounces
• B. 32 ounces
• C. 16 ounces
• D. 64 ounces

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert quarts to ounces, you need to know that 1 quart is equal to 32 ounces. Therefore, 2 quarts would be 2 x 32 = 64 ounces. The correct answer is not 16 ounces as stated in the original rationale. The correct answer is 64 ounces, which corresponds to 2 quarts. As a result, 'C: 16 ounces' is incorrect. Options A, B, and D are also incorrect as they do not reflect the accurate conversion from quarts to ounces.

3. How many grams are in 5 kilograms?

• A. 50 grams
• B. 500 grams
• C. 5000 grams
• D. 5 grams

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert kilograms to grams, you need to multiply by 1000 because there are 1000 grams in a kilogram. Therefore, 5 kilograms x 1000 grams/kilogram = 5000 grams. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly convert kilograms to grams.

4. What is the formula for calculating the volume of a solid object?

• A. V = W/L
• B. V = L x W x H
• C. V = W/H
• D. V = L/W

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct formula for calculating the volume of a solid object is V = L x W x H, where L represents the length, W represents the width, and H represents the height. Choice A (V = W/L) is incorrect as it represents a division operation, not multiplication. Choice C (V = W/H) is incorrect as it does not account for the width and height. Choice D (V = L/W) is incorrect as it represents the inverse operation of what is needed to calculate volume.

5. What is the equivalent of 35.4 centimeters in kilometers (km)?

• A. 0.00354 km
• B. 0.000354 km
• C. 0.00345 km
• D. 0.0345 km

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert centimeters to kilometers, you need to divide by 100,000 since there are 100,000 centimeters in a kilometer. Therefore, 35.4 cm ÷ 100,000 = 0.000354 km. Choice A (0.00354 km) is incorrect as it represents dividing by 10,000, not 100,000. Choice C (0.00345 km) is incorrect as the last digit is different from the correct answer. Choice D (0.0345 km) is incorrect as it represents dividing by 1,000, not by 100,000.
