1. What is 0.3 as a fraction in simplest form?

• A. 3/10
• B. 1/3
• C. 1/4
• D. 1/5

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert 0.3 to a fraction, we take 0.3 and express it as 3/10. This fraction is already in its simplest form because 3 and 10 do not have any common factors other than 1. Choice B, 1/3, is incorrect as it represents a different value. Choice C, 1/4, and Choice D, 1/5, are also incorrect as they do not match the equivalent fraction for 0.3.

2. What is the base unit for liquid volume in the metric system?

• A. Milliliters
• B. Liters
• C. Gallons
• D. Liters

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Liters. In the metric system, liters are the base unit for liquid volume. Milliliters, though a metric unit, are a smaller unit of volume and not the base unit. Gallons, on the other hand, are part of the imperial system and not a metric unit for volume. Option D is a duplicate of option B, making it incorrect.

3. Which of the following is equal to 0.13 inches?

• A. 0.013 inches
• B. 1.3 inches
• C. 0.13 inches
• D. 13 inches

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: 0.13 inches. When converting decimals to inches, the value remains the same. Choice A, 0.013 inches, represents a smaller value than 0.13 inches as it has an extra zero. Choice B, 1.3 inches, is incorrect as it is a larger value than 0.13 inches. Choice D, 13 inches, is significantly larger than 0.13 inches, making it an incorrect conversion.

4. How many centimeters are in 4 meters?

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

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert meters to centimeters, you multiply by 100. In this case, 4 meters x 100 = 400 centimeters. Therefore, the correct answer is 400 cm. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly convert meters to centimeters.

5. How many liters are in 2,000 milliliters?

• A. 0.2 liters
• B. 2 liters
• C. 0.02 liters
• D. 20 liters

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 2 liters. To convert milliliters to liters, you need to divide by 1000 since there are 1000 milliliters in a liter. Therefore, 2,000 milliliters is equal to 2 liters (2000 ÷ 1000 = 2). Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they incorrectly convert milliliters to liters, resulting in values that are too low (A and C) or too high (D).
