1. How many meters are in one kilometer?

• A. 100 meters
• B. 1000 meters
• C. 500 meters
• D. 2000 meters

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 1000 meters. One kilometer is equivalent to 1000 meters. Therefore, 1000 meters is the accurate conversion from kilometers to meters. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect. Choice A (100 meters) is incorrect as it represents 1/10th of a kilometer. Choice C (500 meters) is incorrect as it is half the value of a kilometer. Choice D (2000 meters) is incorrect as it exceeds the value of a kilometer.

2. What is 0.1 mg to mcg?

• A. 100 mcg
• B. 10 mcg
• C. 1000 mcg
• D. 1 mcg

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert milligrams to micrograms, you need to multiply by 1000. Therefore, 0.1 mg is equal to 100 mcg. This conversion is commonly used in medical calculations. Choice B (10 mcg) is incorrect because it would be the conversion from milligrams to micrograms if multiplied by 100, not 10. Choice C (1000 mcg) is incorrect as it would be the conversion from grams to micrograms if multiplied by 1000. Choice D (1 mcg) is incorrect as it represents the original unit without conversion.

3. Convert 250 milliliters to liters.

• A. 25 liters
• B. 0.25 liters
• C. 2.5 liters
• D. 0.025 liters

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert milliliters to liters, you need to divide by 1000 since there are 1000 milliliters in a liter. Therefore, 250 milliliters is equal to 250/1000 = 0.25 liters. Choice A, 25 liters, is incorrect as it is a magnitude higher than the correct answer. Choice C, 2.5 liters, is also incorrect as it is 10 times greater than the correct conversion. Choice D, 0.025 liters, is incorrect as it is a magnitude lower than the correct conversion.

4. What is the term for the amount of space an object occupies?

• A. mass
• B. volume
• C. density
• D. area

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct term for the amount of space an object occupies is 'volume.' Volume refers to the three-dimensional space that an object occupies and is measured in cubic units like cubic meters. 'Mass' (Choice A) refers to the amount of matter in an object, 'density' (Choice C) is the mass per unit volume of a substance, and 'area' (Choice D) is the measurement of the extent of a surface.

5. How many centimeters are in 4 meters?

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

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert meters to centimeters, you multiply by 100. In this case, 4 meters x 100 = 400 centimeters. Therefore, the correct answer is 400 cm. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly convert meters to centimeters.
