1. What does 'kg' stand for in the metric system?

• A. kilogram
• B. keg
• C. kroner
• D. kraken

Correct answer: A

Rationale: 'kg' stands for kilogram, the unit of mass equal to 1,000 grams. In the metric system, 'kg' specifically represents the unit of mass, making 'kilogram' the correct choice. The other choices, 'keg,' 'kroner,' and 'kraken,' do not represent the standard unit of mass in the metric system and are therefore incorrect.

2. How many ounces are in 2 quarts?

• A. 8 ounces
• B. 32 ounces
• C. 16 ounces
• D. 64 ounces

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert quarts to ounces, you need to know that 1 quart is equal to 32 ounces. Therefore, 2 quarts would be 2 x 32 = 64 ounces. The correct answer is not 16 ounces as stated in the original rationale. The correct answer is 64 ounces, which corresponds to 2 quarts. As a result, 'C: 16 ounces' is incorrect. Options A, B, and D are also incorrect as they do not reflect the accurate conversion from quarts to ounces.

3. How many milligrams (mg) are equal to 1 gram?

• A. 100 mg
• B. 1,000 mg
• C. 1 mg
• D. 10,000 mg

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert grams to milligrams, you need to multiply by 1,000 because there are 1,000 milligrams in 1 gram. Therefore, 1 gram × 1,000 = 1,000 milligrams. Choice A (100 mg) is incorrect as it represents 0.1 grams, not 1 gram. Choice C (1 mg) is incorrect as it represents a fraction of a gram. Choice D (10,000 mg) is incorrect as it is 10 times more than the correct conversion.

4. What is 0.5 x 200?

• A. 100
• B. 50
• C. 150
• D. 200

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the product of 0.5 and 200, you multiply the two numbers, which equals 100. The correct answer is A. Choice B, 50, is the result of multiplying 0.5 by 100 instead of 200. Choice C, 150, is the result of adding 0.5 and 200 instead of multiplying them. Choice D, 200, is the second number in the multiplication operation and not the correct product.

5. How many cups are in one pint?

• A. 1 cup
• B. 2 cups
• C. 3 cups
• D. 4 cups

Correct answer: B

Rationale: One pint is equivalent to 2 cups. This conversion is a common measurement in cooking and baking. Choice A (1 cup), Choice C (3 cups), and Choice D (4 cups) are incorrect because a pint specifically contains 2 cups according to standard measurement conversions.
