1. What is the equivalent of 255.0 pounds in kilograms (1 kg = 2.205 lbs)?

• A. 115.7 kg
• B. 126.0 kg
• C. 115.8 kg
• D. 115.6 kg

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To convert pounds to kilograms, you need to divide the weight in pounds by 2.205 (1 kg = 2.205 lbs). Therefore, 255.0 pounds divided by 2.205 equals 115.6 kilograms. This results in choice D being the correct answer. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not reflect the accurate conversion calculation from pounds to kilograms.

2. What is 0.26 as a fraction in simplest form?

• A. 13/50
• B. 26/100
• C. 26/1000
• D. 1/4

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert 0.26 to a fraction, we write it as 26/100. To simplify this fraction, we divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2 in this case. Dividing 26 and 100 by 2 results in 13/50. Therefore, 0.26 as a fraction in simplest form is 13/50. Choice B (26/100) is the original form of the decimal, not simplified. Choice C (26/1000) is incorrect as it doesn't match the decimal representation. Choice D (1/4) is not the equivalent fraction for 0.26.

3. What is the metric equivalent of 1 inch?

• A. 1.54 cm
• B. 2.54 cm
• C. 3.54 cm
• D. 4.54 cm

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 2.54 cm. One inch is equivalent to 2.54 centimeters in the metric system. This conversion factor is commonly used in converting measurements between the imperial and metric systems. Choice A (1.54 cm), Choice C (3.54 cm), and Choice D (4.54 cm) are incorrect conversions and do not represent the accurate metric equivalent of 1 inch.

4. How many meters are in one kilometer?

• A. 100 meters
• B. 1000 meters
• C. 500 meters
• D. 2000 meters

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 1000 meters. One kilometer is equivalent to 1000 meters. Therefore, 1000 meters is the accurate conversion from kilometers to meters. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect. Choice A (100 meters) is incorrect as it represents 1/10th of a kilometer. Choice C (500 meters) is incorrect as it is half the value of a kilometer. Choice D (2000 meters) is incorrect as it exceeds the value of a kilometer.

5. How many milliliters are in 1.5 liters?

• A. 15 mL
• B. 1,500 mL
• C. 150 mL
• D. 150,000 mL

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert liters to milliliters, you need to multiply by 1,000 since there are 1,000 milliliters in a liter. Therefore, 1.5 liters x 1,000 = 1,500 milliliters. Choice A, 15 mL, is incorrect as it represents the conversion of 0.015 liters. Choice C, 150 mL, is incorrect as it represents the conversion of 0.15 liters. Choice D, 150,000 mL, is incorrect as it represents the conversion of 150 liters.
