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 0.3 ml in tsp?

• A. 0.06 tsp
• B. 0.1 tsp
• C. 0.2 tsp
• D. 0.3 tsp

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert milliliters to teaspoons, you can use the conversion factor that there are approximately 5 milliliters in a teaspoon. When you divide 0.3 ml by 5, you get 0.06 teaspoons, which is equivalent to 0.06 tsp. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B, 0.1 tsp, is incorrect because it does not result from the conversion of 0.3 ml to tsp. Choice C, 0.2 tsp, is also incorrect as it does not accurately represent the conversion. Choice D, 0.3 tsp, is the same value as the original quantity in milliliters, which is not the correct conversion to teaspoons.

3. Convert 1.25 kilograms to grams.

• A. 12.5 grams
• B. 125 grams
• C. 1,250 grams
• D. 1250 mg

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert kilograms to grams, you need to multiply by 1000 since there are 1000 grams in a kilogram. Therefore, 1.25 kilograms is equal to 1.25 x 1000 = 1,250 grams. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly convert kilograms to grams.

4. What does 'cm' stand for in the metric system?

• A. centimeter
• B. cubic meter
• C. cord
• D. centi

Correct answer: A

Rationale: In the metric system, 'cm' stands for centimeter, which is a unit of length equal to 1/100th of a meter. The correct answer is 'centimeter' (A). Choice B, 'cubic meter,' is a unit of volume, not length. Choice C, 'cord,' is not a standard metric unit. Choice D, 'centi,' is a prefix meaning one-hundredth, but 'cm' specifically stands for centimeter, not just the prefix.

5. 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.
