1. How many yards are in one mile?

• A. 1760 yards
• B. 1500 yards
• C. 2000 yards
• D. 1800 yards

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 1760 yards. There are 1760 yards in one mile. This conversion is a standard unit of measurement in the imperial system. Choice B, 1500 yards, is incorrect as it is not the correct conversion from miles to yards. Choice C, 2000 yards, is also incorrect as it does not represent the accurate conversion. Choice D, 1800 yards, is incorrect as it does not reflect the correct number of yards in a mile according to the established conversion rate.

2. What is 0.04 liters converted to milliliters?

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

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert liters to milliliters, you need to multiply by 1,000 since there are 1,000 milliliters in a liter. So, to convert 0.04 liters to milliliters, you would multiply 0.04 by 1,000, giving you 40 milliliters. This means that choice A, '40 ml', is the correct answer. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly convert liters to milliliters. Choice B, '4 ml', is incorrect as it is 10 times smaller than the correct conversion. Choice C, '400 ml', is incorrect as it is 10 times larger than the correct conversion. Choice D, '0.4 ml', is incorrect as it is one-tenth of the correct conversion.

3. What is the equivalent of 3.54 millimeters in meters (m)?

• A. 0.0354 m
• B. 0.00354 m
• C. 35.4 m
• D. 0.035 m

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert millimeters to meters, you need to divide by 1,000 since there are 1,000 millimeters in a meter. Therefore, 3.54 mm ÷ 1,000 = 0.00354 meters. Choice A (0.0354 m) is incorrect as it is 10 times the correct conversion. Choice C (35.4 m) is incorrect as it would be the equivalent of 35,400 millimeters. Choice D (0.035 m) is also incorrect as it is 100 times greater than the correct conversion.

4. What is the base unit for volume of a solid in the metric system?

• A. cubic meters
• B. meters cubed
• C. grams
• D. centimeters

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'cubic meters' (A) which is the base unit for volume of a solid in the metric system. Volume is measured in cubic units (length × width × height) for solids. Choice B, 'meters cubed,' is not the standard way to express volume in the metric system. Choices C and D, 'grams' and 'centimeters,' are units of mass and length respectively, not volume.

5. What is the base unit for liquid volume in the metric system?

• A. Milliliters
• B. Liters
• C. Gallons
• D. Liters

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Liters. In the metric system, liters are the base unit for liquid volume. Milliliters, though a metric unit, are a smaller unit of volume and not the base unit. Gallons, on the other hand, are part of the imperial system and not a metric unit for volume. Option D is a duplicate of option B, making it incorrect.
