1. What is 0.09 liters in milliliters when converted?

• A. 0.09 ml
• B. 90 ml
• C. 900 ml
• D. 9 ml

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert liters to milliliters, you need to multiply by 1,000 since there are 1,000 milliliters in a liter. Therefore, 0.09 liters x 1,000 = 90 milliliters. Choice A, 0.09 ml, is incorrect as it represents the original volume in milliliters. Choices C and D, 900 ml and 9 ml, are incorrect as they miscalculate the conversion from liters to milliliters.

2. Which of the following is equal to 0.16 inches?

• A. 0.016 inches
• B. 0.16 inches
• C. 1.6 inches
• D. 16 inches

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 0.16 inches. This value is already in its simplest form and represents sixteen one-hundredths of an inch. Choice A, 0.016 inches, is incorrect as it represents sixteen thousandths of an inch, not the given value. Choice C, 1.6 inches, is incorrect as it represents one and six-tenths inches, which is larger than the given value. Choice D, 16 inches, is incorrect as it represents sixteen inches, which is significantly larger than the given value of 0.16 inches.

3. How many millimeters are in 5 centimeters?

• A. 50 mm
• B. 500 mm
• C. 5 mm
• D. 500 cm

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert centimeters to millimeters, you multiply by 10 since there are 10 millimeters in a centimeter. Therefore, 5 centimeters x 10 = 50 millimeters, making choice A the correct answer. Choice C, '5 mm,' is incorrect as it represents the original quantity in millimeters. Choice D, '500 cm,' is incorrect as it converts the centimeters to centimeters instead of millimeters.

4. How many grams are in 0.5 kilograms?

• A. 50 grams
• B. 500 grams
• C. 5,000 grams
• D. 0.5 grams

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert kilograms to grams, you need to multiply by 1000 since there are 1000 grams in 1 kilogram. Therefore, 0.5 kilograms is equal to 500 grams (0.5 x 1000 = 500). Choice A (50 grams) is incorrect as it is the result of multiplying by 10 instead of 1000. Choice C (5,000 grams) is incorrect as it is the result of adding an extra zero. Choice D (0.5 grams) is incorrect as it represents the original amount in grams, not the converted amount.

5. How many liters are in 3,000 milliliters?

• A. 0.3 liters
• B. 30 liters
• C. 3 liters
• D. 0.03 liters

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert milliliters to liters, you need to divide by 1,000 since there are 1,000 milliliters in a liter. Therefore, 3,000 milliliters / 1,000 = 3 liters. Choice A '0.3 liters' is incorrect as it represents 300 milliliters, not 3,000. Choice B '30 liters' is incorrect as it is the result of multiplying by 10 instead of dividing by 1,000. Choice D '0.03 liters' is incorrect as it represents 30 milliliters, not 3,000.
