1. What is the equivalent of 3,450 milliliters in liters (L)?

• A. 0.345 liters
• B. 3.45 liters
• C. 34.5 liters
• D. 345 liters

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert milliliters to liters, you need to divide by 1,000 since there are 1,000 milliliters in a liter. Therefore, 3,450 mL ÷ 1,000 = 3.45 liters. Choice A (0.345 liters) is incorrect as it incorrectly moves the decimal point. Choice C (34.5 liters) is incorrect as it overestimates the conversion. Choice D (345 liters) is incorrect as it overestimates by an order of magnitude.

2. Convert 0.2 liters to milliliters.

• A. 20 ml
• B. 200 ml
• C. 2 ml
• D. 2000 ml

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert 0.2 liters to milliliters, you need to multiply by 1000 because there are 1000 milliliters in 1 liter. Therefore, 0.2 liters x 1000 = 200 ml. Choice A (20 ml) is incorrect because it represents 0.02 liters, not 0.2 liters. Choice C (2 ml) is incorrect as it represents 0.002 liters. Choice D (2000 ml) is incorrect as it represents 2 liters, not 0.2 liters.

3. How many liters (L) are equal to 1 kiloliter?

• A. 100 liters
• B. 1,000 liters
• C. 10 liters
• D. 10,000 liters

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert kiloliters to liters, you multiply by 1,000. Therefore, 1 kiloliter × 1,000 = 1,000 liters. Choice A (100 liters) is incorrect because it represents only 1/10th of a kiloliter. Choice C (10 liters) is incorrect as it represents only 1/100th of a kiloliter. Choice D (10,000 liters) is incorrect as it is 10 times bigger than a kiloliter.

4. Convert 0.29 pounds to ounces.

• A. 2.9 ounces
• B. 4.64 ounces
• C. 29 ounces
• D. 46.4 ounces

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert pounds to ounces, you need to know that there are 16 ounces in a pound. Multiplying 0.29 pounds by 16 gives you 4.64 ounces. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Choice A (2.9 ounces) is incorrect as it doesn't consider the conversion factor of 16 ounces per pound. Choice C (29 ounces) and Choice D (46.4 ounces) are incorrect because they incorrectly interpret the conversion from pounds to ounces.

5. What is the metric equivalent of 1 inch?

• A. 1.54 cm
• B. 2.54 cm
• C. 3.54 cm
• D. 4.54 cm

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 2.54 cm. One inch is equivalent to 2.54 centimeters in the metric system. This conversion factor is commonly used in converting measurements between the imperial and metric systems. Choice A (1.54 cm), Choice C (3.54 cm), and Choice D (4.54 cm) are incorrect conversions and do not represent the accurate metric equivalent of 1 inch.
