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 is the formula to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit?

• A. (C × 9/5) + 32
• B. (C × 5/9) + 32
• C. (F × 9/5) - 32
• D. (F × 5/9) - 32

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct formula to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit is (C × 9/5) + 32. This formula involves multiplying the Celsius temperature by 9/5 and then adding 32 to get the Fahrenheit temperature. Choice B is incorrect as it suggests dividing by 5/9 instead of multiplying by 9/5. Choices C and D are both incorrect because they involve using the Fahrenheit temperature in the calculation, which is not the correct method for converting Celsius to Fahrenheit.

3. What is the result of multiplying 0.15 by 60?

• A. 9
• B. 15
• C. 45
• D. 60

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 9. To find the result of multiplying 0.15 by 60, you simply multiply the two numbers together. 0.15 * 60 = 9. This calculation involves basic multiplication. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct product of 0.15 and 60. Understanding how to multiply decimals and whole numbers is essential in various real-life scenarios such as calculating percentages or adjusting measurements.

4. How many centimeters are in 0.25 meters?

• A. 2.5 cm
• B. 25 cm
• C. 250 cm
• D. 0.25 cm

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert meters to centimeters, you need to multiply by 100 since there are 100 centimeters in a meter. Therefore, 0.25 meters x 100 = 25 centimeters. Choice A, '2.5 cm,' is incorrect as it is the result of multiplying by 10 instead of 100. Choice C, '250 cm,' is incorrect as it is the result of multiplying by 1000. Choice D, '0.25 cm,' is incorrect as it suggests the conversion is in the opposite direction, from centimeters to meters.

5. How many liters are in 750 milliliters?

• A. 7.5 liters
• B. 0.75 liters
• C. 0.0075 liters
• D. 0.075 liters

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert milliliters to liters, you need to divide by 1000 since there are 1000 milliliters in a liter. Therefore, 750 milliliters divided by 1000 equals 0.75 liters. Choice A (7.5 liters) is incorrect as it is off by a factor of 10. Choice C (0.0075 liters) is incorrect as it is off by a factor of 100. Choice D (0.075 liters) is incorrect as it is off by a factor of 10.
