1. 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.

2. Convert 5 kilometers to meters.

• A. 50 meters
• B. 500 meters
• C. 5000 meters
• D. 0.5 meters

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert kilometers to meters, you need to multiply by 1000 because there are 1000 meters in 1 kilometer. Therefore, 5 kilometers x 1000 = 5000 meters. Choice A (50 meters) is incorrect because it underestimates the conversion. Choice B (500 meters) is incorrect as it also underestimates the conversion. Choice D (0.5 meters) is incorrect as it incorrectly represents the conversion as less than a kilometer.

3. What is 0.025 mg in mcg?

• A. 25 mcg
• B. 250 mcg
• C. 2.5 mcg
• D. 0.25 mcg

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert milligrams to micrograms, you need to multiply by 1000 because there are 1000 micrograms in a milligram. Therefore, 0.025 mg x 1000 = 25 mcg. This means that the correct answer is A, 25 mcg. Choice B, 250 mcg, is incorrect because it incorrectly multiplies by 10 instead of 1000. Choice C, 2.5 mcg, is incorrect as it inaccurately divides the value by 10. Choice D, 0.25 mcg, is also incorrect as it divides the value by 100 instead of multiplying by 1000.

4. What is 0.75 as a fraction?

• A. 3/4
• B. 7/10
• C. 15/20
• D. 1/2

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert a decimal to a fraction, you can write the decimal as a fraction with the decimal part as the numerator and a power of 10 as the denominator. In this case, 0.75 can be written as 75/100. Simplifying this fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 25 gives you 3/4. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B (7/10), Choice C (15/20), and Choice D (1/2) are incorrect because they do not represent the correct conversion of 0.75 into a fraction.

5. Convert 0.1 liter to milliliters. What is the equivalent volume?

• A. 1 ml
• B. 10 ml
• C. 100 ml
• D. 1000 ml

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert liters to milliliters, you need to multiply the number of liters by 1,000 because there are 1,000 milliliters in a liter. Therefore, 0.1 liter is equal to 100 milliliters. Choice A (1 ml) is incorrect because it represents the conversion of 0.01 liters, not 0.1 liters. Choice B (10 ml) is incorrect as it also represents the conversion of 0.01 liters. Choice D (1000 ml) is incorrect as it represents the conversion of 1 liter, not 0.1 liter.
