1. 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.

2. How many millimeters are in 1 centimeter?

• A. 1 mm
• B. 10 mm
• C. 100 mm
• D. 1,000 mm

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: '10 mm'. There are 10 millimeters in 1 centimeter. To convert centimeters to millimeters, you multiply by 10 because 1 centimeter is equivalent to 10 millimeters. Choice A '1 mm' is incorrect as it represents the size of 1 millimeter, not the conversion from centimeters to millimeters. Choice C '100 mm' is incorrect as it is the equivalent of 1 meter, not 1 centimeter. Choice D '1,000 mm' is incorrect as it is the equivalent of 1 meter, not 1 centimeter.

3. What is the equivalent of 1 nanometer (nm) in meters (m)?

• A. 10^-9 meters
• B. 10^-6 meters
• C. 10^-12 meters
• D. 10^-15 meters

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 10^-9 meters. 1 nanometer (nm) is equivalent to 10^-9 meters. This conversion is commonly used in various scientific fields, including nanotechnology, to represent extremely small lengths. Choice B, 10^-6 meters, is incorrect as it represents a micrometer, not a nanometer. Choice C, 10^-12 meters, is incorrect as it would be a picometer, which is smaller than a nanometer. Choice D, 10^-15 meters, is incorrect as it would be a femtometer, much smaller than a nanometer.

4. 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.

5. How many centimeters are in one meter?

• A. 1/10 cm
• B. 100 cm
• C. 10 cm
• D. 1000 cm

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 100 cm. One meter is equivalent to 100 centimeters. This conversion is based on the metric system, where the prefix 'centi-' represents one hundredth. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the conversion of meters to centimeters. Choice A, '1/10 cm,' is incorrect as it represents a fraction of a centimeter, not the full conversion from meters to centimeters. Choice C, '10 cm,' is incorrect as it represents the conversion from decimeters to centimeters, not meters to centimeters. Choice D, '1000 cm,' is incorrect as it represents the conversion from meters to millimeters, not centimeters.
