1. What is 1500 milliliters in liters?

• A. 1.5 liters
• B. 0.15 liters
• C. 15 liters
• D. 0.015 liters

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert milliliters to liters, you need to divide by 1000 since there are 1000 milliliters in 1 liter. Therefore, 1500 milliliters divided by 1000 equals 1.5 liters, making option A the correct answer. Option B, 0.15 liters, is incorrect as it would be the conversion of 150 milliliters. Option C, 15 liters, is incorrect because it would be the conversion of 15,000 milliliters. Option D, 0.015 liters, is incorrect as it would be the conversion of 15 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 0.5 multiplied by 20?

• A. 10
• B. 15
• C. 20
• D. 25

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the product of 0.5 and 20, you multiply them together. 0.5 x 20 = 10. This calculation involves multiplying a decimal (0.5) by a whole number (20). Choice A, '10', is the correct answer. Choice B, '15', is incorrect as it does not accurately represent the result of multiplying 0.5 by 20. Choices C and D, '20' and '25', are also incorrect as they do not reflect the correct calculation. This question assesses your ability to perform basic arithmetic operations involving decimals and whole numbers.

4. How many milligrams are in 1 gram?

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

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: 1,000 mg. This is because 1 gram is equivalent to 1,000 milligrams. To convert grams to milligrams, you multiply by 1,000. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect. Choice A (1 mg) is the smallest unit, and it would take 1,000 of these to make 1 gram. Choice B (10 mg) is also too small, as it would require 100 of these to equal 1 gram. Choice C (100 mg) is closer, but it still falls short of the correct conversion, which is 1,000 mg in 1 gram.

5. Convert 0.0345 kilograms to grams (g).

• A. 3.45 grams
• B. 34.5 grams
• C. 345 grams
• D. 3450 grams

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert kilograms to grams, you need to multiply by 1,000 since 1 kilogram is equal to 1,000 grams. Therefore, 0.0345 kg multiplied by 1,000 equals 34.5 grams. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly convert kilograms to grams. A states 3.45 grams, which is off by a factor of 10. C and D overestimate the conversion by considering the decimal point in the original value as a whole number. Hence, the correct answer is B, 34.5 grams.
