1. How many pints are in one quart?

• A. 1 pint
• B. 2 pints
• C. 3 pints
• D. 4 pints

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 2 pints. There are 2 pints in one quart. A quart is equivalent to 2 pints, so each quart contains 2 pints. Choice A, 1 pint, is incorrect because a quart consists of more than 1 pint. Choice C, 3 pints, and Choice D, 4 pints, are also incorrect as they do not accurately represent the conversion of quarts to pints.

2. What is 0.004 expressed as a ratio?

• A. 1:250
• B. 4:20
• C. 2:40
• D. 9:20

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The decimal 0.004 can be represented as a ratio of 4/1000, which simplifies to 1/250, making the ratio 1:250. The correct answer is A. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the correct conversion of 0.004 into a simplified ratio. Choice B simplifies to 1:5, Choice C simplifies to 1:20, and Choice D simplifies to 9:20, none of which accurately represent the ratio of 0.004.

3. In the metric system, what factor does the prefix kilo- represent?

• A. 10^3
• B. 10^2
• C. 10^4
• D. 10^6

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The prefix 'kilo-' in the metric system signifies a factor of 1000, which is equivalent to 10^3. Therefore, when using the prefix 'kilo-', it implies multiplying the base unit by 1000. For instance, one kilometer is equal to 1000 meters. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not accurately represent the factor associated with the prefix 'kilo-'.

4. What is the result of multiplying 0.15 by 3?

• A. 0.05
• B. 0.15
• C. 0.45
• D. 0.45

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: 0.45. To find the result of multiplying 0.15 by 3, you simply multiply the two numbers together, which gives you 0.45. Choice A (0.05) is incorrect as it is the result of dividing 0.15 by 3 instead of multiplying. Choice B (0.15) is the original number being multiplied and not the result. Choice D (0.45) is the same as the correct answer but is repeated for redundancy.

5. What is 0.004 as a simplified ratio?

• A. 1:250
• B. 4:35
• C. 7:28
• D. 4:00

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert 0.004 to a ratio, we first express it as 4/1000, which simplifies to 1/250. Hence, 0.004 is equivalent to the simplified ratio of 1:250. Choice B, 4:35, is incorrect as it does not reflect the correct conversion. Choice C, 7:28, is incorrect because it does not represent the simplified ratio of 0.004. Choice D, 4:00, is incorrect as it does not simplify to the original decimal value.
