1. 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.

2. Convert 2500 milliliters to liters.

• A. 2.5 liters
• B. 25 liters
• C. 0.25 liters
• D. 250 liters

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert milliliters to liters, you need to divide by 1000 since there are 1000 milliliters in a liter. Therefore, 2500 milliliters divided by 1000 equals 2.5 liters, making choice A the correct answer. Choice B is incorrect because it incorrectly multiplies instead of dividing. Choice C is incorrect as it incorrectly places the decimal point, resulting in an incorrect conversion. Choice D is incorrect as it multiplies instead of dividing, leading to an inaccurate conversion.

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. 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.

5. What does the prefix 'milli' mean?

• A. 0.01
• B. 0.001
• C. 0.0001
• D. 0.00001

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The prefix 'milli' means one-thousandth, which is equivalent to 0.001 of the base unit. For instance, 1 millimeter is equal to 0.001 meters. Choice A (0.01) is incorrect as it represents one-hundredth, not one-thousandth. Choice C (0.0001) is incorrect as it signifies ten-thousandth, not one-thousandth. Choice D (0.00001) is incorrect as it stands for one-hundred-thousandth, not one-thousandth.
