1. What is 0.5 liters in milliliters?

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

Correct answer: B

Rationale: 0.5 liters is equivalent to 500 milliliters. To convert liters to milliliters, you multiply by 1000 since 1 liter equals 1000 milliliters. Therefore, the correct answer is 500 ml (0.5 * 1000 = 500). Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly convert 0.5 liters to milliliters.

2. How many quarts are equivalent to 2 liters?

• A. 1.06 quarts
• B. 0.5 quarts
• C. 2.1 quarts
• D. 4 quarts

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert liters to quarts, we know that 1 liter is approximately equal to 1.06 quarts. Therefore, 2 liters would be around 2.12 quarts. However, for practical purposes, it's often rounded to 2.1 quarts. Option A, '1.06 quarts,' is the closest and most accurate approximation. Option B, '0.5 quarts,' is incorrect as it represents half of the actual conversion. Option C, '2.1 quarts,' is close but slightly higher than the actual conversion. Option D, '4 quarts,' is double the correct conversion and is therefore incorrect.

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 0.125 as a fraction?

• A. 1/8
• B. 1/4
• C. 1/2
• D. 1/16

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert 0.125 to a fraction, we write it as 125/1000. Simplifying by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 125 gives us 1/8. Therefore, choice A (1/8) is the correct answer. Choice B (1/4) is incorrect as it represents 0.25, not 0.125. Choice C (1/2) is incorrect as it represents 0.5, not 0.125. Choice D (1/16) is incorrect as it represents 0.0625, not 0.125.

5. How many centimeters are in 1 inch?

• A. 2.54 cm
• B. 3 cm
• C. 2 cm
• D. 1 cm

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 2.54 cm. One inch is equivalent to 2.54 centimeters. This conversion factor is commonly used when converting measurements between the metric and imperial systems. Choice B (3 cm) is incorrect as it is not the accurate conversion factor for 1 inch. Choice C (2 cm) is also incorrect as it does not reflect the correct conversion. Choice D (1 cm) is incorrect as it inaccurately states the conversion value for 1 inch.
