1. Which of the following percentages is equal to 0.45?

• A. 4.5%
• B. 0.045%
• C. 0.45%
• D. 45%

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To convert 0.45 to a percentage, you multiply by 100: 0.45 × 100 = 45%. Therefore, the correct answer is D. 45%. Choice A, 4.5%, is incorrect. This percentage would be equal to 0.045, not 0.45. Choice B, 0.045%, is also incorrect. It represents 0.045, not 0.45. Choice C, 0.45%, is very close to the correct answer but actually represents 0.0045, not 0.45.

2. How many liters are in 120 milliliters?

• A. 1.2 liters
• B. 12 liters
• C. 1,200 liters
• D. 0.12 liters

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To convert milliliters to liters, divide the milliliters by 1000 since there are 1000 milliliters in a liter. In this case, 120 milliliters divided by 1000 equals 0.12 liters. Therefore, the correct answer is 0.12 liters. Choice A (1.2 liters) is incorrect as it incorrectly moved the decimal point. Choice B (12 liters) is incorrect as it incorrectly multiplied by 10 instead of dividing by 1000. Choice C (1,200 liters) is incorrect as it added an extra zero, resulting in a much larger value.

3. What is the cost of building a fence around a square lawn with an area of 62,500 square meters at a rate of $5 per meter?

• A. $4,000
• B. $4,500
• C. $5,000
• D. $5,500

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To determine the cost of building a fence around the square lawn, first calculate the length of one side by finding the square root of the area: √62500 = 250 meters (length of one side). The perimeter of a square is four times the length of one side, so the perimeter of the lawn is 4 * 250 = 1000 meters. To find the cost of the fence, multiply the perimeter by the cost per meter: 1000 meters * $5/meter = $5000. Therefore, the correct answer is $5,000, which corresponds to choice C. Choice A ($4,000), choice B ($4,500), and choice D ($5,500) are incorrect as they do not accurately calculate the cost based on the given information.

4. How many liters are there in 500 milliliters?

• A. 0.5 liters
• B. 5 liters
• C. 50 liters
• D. 500,000 liters

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 0.5 liters. To convert milliliters to liters, you need to divide by 1000 since there are 1000 milliliters in 1 liter. Therefore, 500 milliliters is equal to 0.5 liters. Choice B, 5 liters, is incorrect because it would be the equivalent of 5000 milliliters. Choice C, 50 liters, is incorrect as it is ten times the converted value. Choice D, 500,000 liters, is way off as it is a thousand times more than the correct conversion.

5. Express 0.608 as a percent.

• A. 60.8%
• B. 68%
• C. 0%
• D. 6%

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert a decimal to a percentage, you move the decimal point two places to the right and add a percentage sign. Therefore, 0.608 as a percent is 60.8%. The correct answer is A. Choice B (68%) is incorrect because it represents the percentage for a different decimal value. Choice C (0%) is incorrect as it represents 0 as a percentage, not 0.608. Choice D (6%) is incorrect as it also represents a different decimal value, not 0.608.
