1. Convert 34.5 grams to kilograms (kg).

• A. 3.45 kg
• B. 34.5 kg
• C. 345 kg
• D. 3.45 grams

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert grams to kilograms, divide by 1,000 since there are 1,000 grams in a kilogram. Therefore, 34.5 grams ÷ 1,000 = 0.0345 kilograms. The correct answer is 3.45 kg (not 3.45 grams, which is the amount given in the initial question). Choices B and C are incorrect as they do not involve the conversion from grams to kilograms. Choice D is also incorrect as it presents the value in grams instead of kilograms.

2. What is the equivalent of 500 milliliters in liters?

• A. 0.05 liters
• B. 0.5 liters
• C. 5 liters
• D. 50 liters

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert milliliters to liters, you need to divide by 1000 since 1 liter is equal to 1000 milliliters. Therefore, 500 milliliters divided by 1000 equals 0.5 liters. Choice A (0.05 liters) is incorrect because it represents 50 milliliters, not 500 milliliters. Choice C (5 liters) and Choice D (50 liters) are both incorrect as they are higher values and do not accurately represent the conversion of 500 milliliters to liters.

3. How many kilograms are in 1,500 grams?

• A. 0.15 kg
• B. 1.5 kg
• C. 15 kg
• D. 150 kg

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert grams to kilograms, you divide by 1,000 since there are 1,000 grams in a kilogram. Therefore, 1,500 grams divided by 1,000 equals 1.5 kilograms, making choice B the correct answer. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly convert grams to kilograms.

4. How many milliliters are there in 0.5 liters?

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

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert liters to milliliters, you need to multiply by 1000 since there are 1000 milliliters in a liter. Therefore, 0.5 liters is equal to 500 milliliters. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the correct conversion from liters to milliliters.

5. How many milligrams are in 2 grams?

• A. 200 mg
• B. 2,000 mg
• C. 20 mg
• D. 20,000 mg

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert grams to milligrams, you need to multiply by 1,000 since there are 1,000 milligrams in a gram. Therefore, 2 grams is equal to 2,000 milligrams. Choice A (200 mg) is incorrect as it represents 0.2 grams. Choice C (20 mg) is incorrect as it represents 0.02 grams. Choice D (20,000 mg) is incorrect as it represents 20 grams.
