1. What is 0.1 liter converted to milliliters?

• A. 10 ml
• B. 100 ml
• C. 1000 ml
• D. 1 ml

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert 0.1 liter to milliliters, you need to multiply by 1000 because there are 1000 milliliters in a liter. Therefore, 0.1 liter converts to 100 milliliters. Choice A (10 ml) is incorrect as it represents 0.01 liters, not 0.1 liters. Choice C (1000 ml) is incorrect as it represents 1 liter, not 0.1 liters. Choice D (1 ml) is incorrect as it is too small a quantity for 0.1 liters.

2. What does 'g' stand for in the metric system?

• A. gram
• B. grain
• C. goose
• D. grammage

Correct answer: A

Rationale: In the metric system, 'g' stands for gram, which is the base unit for mass. Choice B, 'grain,' is a measurement unit in the imperial system and not the metric system. Choice C, 'goose,' is unrelated to the metric system. Choice D, 'grammage,' is a term used to describe the weight of paper or fabric, not a unit in the metric system.

3. What is the correct formula to convert Fahrenheit to Celsius?

• A. F = (C × 9/5) + 32
• B. C = (F - 32) × 5/9
• C. C = (F - 32) × 9/5
• D. F = (C + 32) × 5/9

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct formula to convert Fahrenheit to Celsius is C = (F - 32) × 5/9. This formula is derived from the relationship between the two temperature scales. The incorrect choices can be ruled out as follows: A. F = (C × 9/5) + 32 - This formula is used to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit. C. C = (F - 32) × 9/5 - This formula incorrectly multiplies by 9/5 instead of dividing. D. F = (C + 32) × 5/9 - This formula does not subtract the constant 32 from the Fahrenheit value.

4. What is 0.45 liters in milliliters?

• A. 450 ml
• B. 45 ml
• C. 4.5 ml
• D. 0.45 ml

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert liters to milliliters, you need to multiply by 1000 since 1 liter equals 1000 milliliters. Therefore, 0.45 liters is equivalent to 450 milliliters. Choice B, 45 ml, is incorrect as it represents the conversion of 0.045 liters to milliliters. Choice C, 4.5 ml, is incorrect as it represents the conversion of 0.0045 liters to milliliters. Choice D, 0.45 ml, is incorrect as it is the initial quantity in milliliters and not the result of the conversion.

5. How many milliliters are in 2 liters?

• A. 2000 mL
• B. 20,000 mL
• C. 200 mL
• D. 2 mL

Correct answer: A

Rationale: There are 1000 milliliters in 1 liter, so 2 liters equal 2000 milliliters. The conversion is based on the fact that the prefix 'milli-' means one-thousandth. Therefore, the correct answer is 2000 mL. Choice B, 20,000 mL, is incorrect as it multiplies 2 liters by 10. Choice C, 200 mL, is incorrect as it divides 2 liters by 10. Choice D, 2 mL, is incorrect as it incorrectly assumes that 2 liters is equal to 2 milliliters.
