1. 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.

2. 10^6 m can be expressed as ____.

• A. 1 kilometer
• B. 1 megameter
• C. 1 gigameter
• D. 1 terameter

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 1 kilometer. 10^6 meters is equivalent to 1 kilometer, not 1 megameter. The prefix 'kilo-' represents a factor of 10^3 or one thousand, which is the appropriate conversion in this case. Choice B, 1 megameter, would be 10^6 meters squared. Choices C and D, 1 gigameter and 1 terameter, would represent even larger distances, as 'giga-' represents 10^9 and 'tera-' represents 10^12.

3. What is 0.6 liters converted to milliliters?

• A. 600 ml
• B. 60 ml
• C. 6 ml
• D. 0.6 ml

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert 0.6 liters to milliliters, you need to multiply by 1,000 since there are 1,000 milliliters in a liter. Therefore, 0.6 liters equals 600 milliliters. Choice B (60 ml) is incorrect as it is a conversion of 0.06 liters, not 0.6 liters. Choice C (6 ml) is incorrect as it represents a conversion of 0.006 liters, not 0.6 liters. Choice D (0.6 ml) is incorrect as it is the original amount in milliliters, not the converted amount from liters.

4. What is 0.2 rounded to the nearest tenth?

• A. 0.1
• B. 0.2
• C. 0.3
• D. 0.25

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The decimal 0.2 is already at the nearest tenth, so it does not need to be rounded. Rounding to the nearest tenth means keeping one decimal place, which is already the case with 0.2. Therefore, the correct answer is 0.2, as it is already at the specified rounding point. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they represent values that are not the result of rounding 0.2 to the nearest tenth. 0.1 is rounding down, 0.3 is rounding up, and 0.25 is not the nearest tenth of 0.2.

5. Convert 3,540 liters to milliliters (mL).

• A. 354,000 mL
• B. 3,540,000 mL
• C. 35,400 mL
• D. 35,400,000 mL

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert liters to milliliters, you need to multiply by 1,000 because there are 1,000 milliliters in 1 liter. Therefore, 3,540 liters × 1,000 = 3,540,000 milliliters. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly convert liters to milliliters. A, C, and D are off by a factor of 1,000, as they do not account for the conversion factor between liters and milliliters.
