1. Convert 345 centimeters to kilometers (km).

• A. 0.00345 km
• B. 0.0345 km
• C. 0.345 km
• D. 34.5 km

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert centimeters to kilometers, you need to divide by 100,000 since there are 100,000 centimeters in a kilometer. Therefore, 345 cm ÷ 100,000 = 0.00345 km. The correct answer is 0.0345 km, which is obtained by accurately dividing 345 by 100,000. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly apply the conversion factor and result in inaccurate values for kilometers.

2. 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.

3. What is the value of one femtometer (fm) in meters?

• A. 10^-15 meters
• B. 10^-9 meters
• C. 10^-12 meters
• D. 10^-18 meters

Correct answer: A

Rationale: A femtometer is equivalent to 10^-15 meters. The prefix 'femto-' signifies a factor of one quadrillionth (10^-15), making choice A the correct answer. Choice B (10^-9 meters) represents a nanometer, not a femtometer. Choice C (10^-12 meters) corresponds to a picometer, not a femtometer. Choice D (10^-18 meters) is even smaller than a femtometer and refers to an attometer, not a femtometer.

4. How many milliliters are in 0.5 liters?

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

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert from liters to milliliters, you need to multiply by 1000 since there are 1000 milliliters in a liter. Therefore, 0.5 liters x 1000 = 500 milliliters. This conversion is common in various contexts where different units of volume are used. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct conversion factor from liters to milliliters.

5. How many cups are in one pint?

• A. 1 cup
• B. 2 cups
• C. 3 cups
• D. 4 cups

Correct answer: B

Rationale: One pint is equivalent to 2 cups. This conversion is a common measurement in cooking and baking. Choice A (1 cup), Choice C (3 cups), and Choice D (4 cups) are incorrect because a pint specifically contains 2 cups according to standard measurement conversions.
