1. What is 0.04 grams converted to milligrams?

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

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert grams to milligrams, you need to multiply by 1000, not 10000. Therefore, to convert 0.04 grams to milligrams, you multiply 0.04 by 1000, which equals 40 mg. Choice A (40 mg) is the correct answer. Choice B (4 mg) is incorrect as it represents converting 0.004 grams to milligrams. Choice C (400 mg) is incorrect as it is 10 times the correct conversion. Choice D (0.4 mg) is incorrect as it is 10 times smaller than the correct conversion.

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. What is 0.02 as a ratio?

• A. 1:50
• B. 1:20
• C. 2:100
• D. 4:20

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert 0.02 to a ratio, you need to express it as a fraction. 0.02 is equivalent to 2/100. Simplifying this fraction gives you 1/50. So, the correct ratio for 0.02 is 1:50. Choice A is correct because it accurately represents the ratio of 0.02. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect: B is not the simplified form of 0.02, C simplifies to 1:50, not 2:40, and D is not the correct simplified ratio for 0.02.

4. How many ounces are in one gallon?

• A. 64 ounces
• B. 128 ounces
• C. 100 ounces
• D. 150 ounces

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 128 ounces. One gallon is equivalent to 128 ounces. This conversion relationship is commonly used in cooking, baking, and various liquid measurements. Choice A (64 ounces) is incorrect as it represents half the amount of a gallon. Choice C (100 ounces) and Choice D (150 ounces) are also incorrect, as they do not accurately reflect the conversion of a gallon to ounces.

5. What is 0.875 as a simplified fraction?

• A. 7/8
• B. 9/10
• C. 5/6
• D. 3/4

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert 0.875 to a fraction, we write it as 875/1000. Then, simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 125 to get 7/8, which is the simplest form of the fraction. Choice B (9/10), Choice C (5/6), and Choice D (3/4) are all incorrect because they do not represent the value of 0.875 when expressed as a fraction.
