1. What is the result of multiplying 0.15 by 3?

• A. 0.05
• B. 0.15
• C. 0.45
• D. 0.45

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: 0.45. To find the result of multiplying 0.15 by 3, you simply multiply the two numbers together, which gives you 0.45. Choice A (0.05) is incorrect as it is the result of dividing 0.15 by 3 instead of multiplying. Choice B (0.15) is the original number being multiplied and not the result. Choice D (0.45) is the same as the correct answer but is repeated for redundancy.

2. What does 'mm' stand for in the metric system?

• A. millimeter
• B. megabyte
• C. millipede
• D. metered

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'millimeter' (A). 'mm' stands for millimeter, which is equal to one-thousandth of a meter. Choice B, 'megabyte,' is a unit of digital information storage, not a metric system unit. Choice C, 'millipede,' is an arthropod and not a metric unit. Choice D, 'metered,' is not a standard metric unit abbreviation.

3. What is the equivalent temperature in Kelvin if the temperature is measured at 25 degrees Celsius?

• A. 298.15 K
• B. 273.15 K
• C. 250 K
• D. 25 K

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 298.15 K. The conversion from Celsius to Kelvin is K = C + 273.15. Therefore, 25°C is equivalent to 298.15 K, as 25 + 273.15 = 298.15. Choice B, 273.15 K, is the freezing point of water in Kelvin, not the equivalent of 25°C. Choice C, 250 K, and Choice D, 25 K, are incorrect conversions and do not align with the correct formula for converting Celsius to Kelvin.

4. What unit is used to measure density in the metric system?

• A. grams per cubic meter (g/m³)
• B. grams per liter (g/L)
• C. grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³)
• D. grams per square meter (g/m²)

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Density is measured in grams per cubic meter (g/m³) in the metric system. This unit represents the amount of mass (in grams) per unit volume (cubic meter). Choice B, grams per liter (g/L), is incorrect as density is not typically measured in liters. Choice C, grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³), is a common unit for density but not the standard SI unit. Choice D, grams per square meter (g/m²), is a unit for surface density, not volumetric density. Therefore, the correct unit for measuring density in the metric system is grams per cubic meter (g/m³).

5. What is 0.5 liters in ml?

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

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert liters to milliliters, you need to multiply by 1000 since 1 liter is equal to 1000 milliliters. Therefore, 0.5 liters equals 500 milliliters. This conversion is commonly used in various fields such as cooking, medicine, and science. Choice B, 50 ml, is incorrect as it represents 0.05 liters, not 0.5 liters. Choice C, 5 ml, is even smaller and represents 0.005 liters. Choice D, 0.5 ml, is incorrect as it is a tenth of the correct conversion.
