1. How many milliliters are in 0.5 liters?

• A. 50 mL
• B. 500 mL
• C. 5,000 mL
• D. 5 mL

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert liters to milliliters, you need to multiply by 1000 since there are 1000 milliliters in 1 liter. Therefore, 0.5 liters x 1000 = 500 milliliters, making choice B the correct answer. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly convert liters to milliliters.

2. What is 0.16 as a fraction?

• A. 16\100
• B. 16\1000
• C. 4\25
• D. 4\50

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert 0.16 into a fraction, you write it as 16\100, which simplifies to 4\25. This fraction is in its simplest form and accurately represents the original decimal value without further reduction. Choice A (16\1000) is incorrect because the fraction is not simplified, and Choice D (4\50) is incorrect as it simplifies to 2\25, not representing the original decimal value. Therefore, Choice C is the correct answer.

3. How many milliliters are in 0.5 liters?

• A. 500 ml
• B. 50 ml
• C. 5 ml
• D. 0.5 ml

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert from liters to milliliters, you need to multiply by 1000 since there are 1000 milliliters in a liter. Therefore, 0.5 liters x 1000 = 500 milliliters. This conversion is common in various contexts where different units of volume are used. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct conversion factor from liters to milliliters.

4. What is 0.2 liters when converted to milliliters?

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

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert liters to milliliters, you need to multiply by 1000, not 10000. Therefore, 0.2 liters equals 200 ml (0.2 x 1000 = 200 ml). Choice A, 20 ml, is incorrect because it's the result of multiplying by 10 instead of 1000. Choice C, 2 ml, is incorrect as it's the result of ignoring the decimal point. Choice D, 2000 ml, is incorrect because it's the result of multiplying by 10000.

5. How many grams are in 2 kilograms?

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

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert kilograms to grams, you need to multiply by 1000 since there are 1000 grams in a kilogram. Therefore, 2 kilograms is equal to 2 x 1000 = 2000 grams. Choice A (200 grams) is incorrect as it represents the value of 0.2 kilograms. Choice C (20 grams) is incorrect as it represents the value of 0.02 kilograms. Choice D (2 grams) is incorrect as it represents the value of 0.002 kilograms.
