1. Convert 250 milliliters to liters.

• A. 25 liters
• B. 0.25 liters
• C. 2.5 liters
• D. 0.025 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, 250 milliliters is equal to 250/1000 = 0.25 liters. Choice A, 25 liters, is incorrect as it is a magnitude higher than the correct answer. Choice C, 2.5 liters, is also incorrect as it is 10 times greater than the correct conversion. Choice D, 0.025 liters, is incorrect as it is a magnitude lower than the correct conversion.

2. How many feet are equal to 1 yard?

• A. 4 feet
• B. 3 feet
• C. 2 feet
• D. 5 feet

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 3 feet. This is because 1 yard is equivalent to 3 feet. The conversion factor between yards and feet is 1 yard = 3 feet. Choice A (4 feet) is incorrect as it represents the conversion of 1 yard to 4 feet, which is inaccurate. Choice C (2 feet) is incorrect as it underestimates the number of feet in 1 yard. Choice D (5 feet) is incorrect as it overestimates the number of feet in 1 yard.

3. Convert 0.75 kilograms to grams.

• A. 75 grams
• B. 750 grams
• C. 7,500 grams
• D. 75,000 grams

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert kilograms to grams, you need to multiply by 1000 since there are 1000 grams in a kilogram. Therefore, 0.75 kilograms is equal to 0.75 x 1000 = 750 grams. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they incorrectly place the decimal point and do not reflect the correct conversion from kilograms to grams.

4. How many millimeters are in 0.75 centimeters?

• A. 7.5 mm
• B. 0.75 mm
• C. 75 mm
• D. 75 cm

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert centimeters to millimeters, you need to multiply by 10 since there are 10 millimeters in a centimeter. Therefore, 0.75 centimeters equals 0.75 x 10 = 7.5 millimeters, not 75 millimeters (Choice C). Choice A (7.5 mm) is the correct conversion, while Choice B (0.75 mm) and Choice D (75 cm) are incorrect conversions.

5. Convert 0.07 to a fraction.

• A. 7/100
• B. 1/10
• C. 1/20
• D. 1/50

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert 0.07 to a fraction, we note that 0.07 is equivalent to 7/100. This is because 0.07 can be read as 7 hundredths. Thus, the correct fraction form is 7/100. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect. Choice B, 1/10, is the fraction equivalent to 0.1, not 0.07. Choice C, 1/20, and Choice D, 1/50, are also incorrect as they do not represent the value of 0.07 when converted to a fraction.
