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. 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.

3. What is 0.5 liters in ml?

• A. 500 ml
• B. 50 ml
• C. 5 ml
• D. 0.5 ml

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 500 ml. To convert liters to milliliters, you multiply the number of liters by 1000 because 1 liter is equal to 1000 milliliters. Therefore, 0.5 liters x 1000 = 500 milliliters. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly convert 0.5 liters to milliliters based on the conversion factor of 1000 ml per liter.

4. How many milliliters are there in 0.5 liters?

• A. 500 milliliters
• B. 50 milliliters
• C. 5 milliliters
• D. 0.5 milliliters

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert liters to milliliters, you need to multiply by 1000 since there are 1000 milliliters in a liter. Therefore, 0.5 liters is equal to 500 milliliters. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the correct conversion from liters to milliliters.

5. What is 0.4 expressed in inches?

• A. 0.04 inches
• B. 4 inches
• C. 0.4 inches
• D. 40 inches

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To express 0.4 in inches, you don't need to convert it further as it is already in inches. Therefore, the correct answer is 0.4 inches. Choice A (0.04 inches) is incorrect as it represents a smaller quantity. Choice B (4 inches) and Choice D (40 inches) are incorrect as they represent larger quantities, which are not equivalent to 0.4 inches.
