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. What is 0.45 liters in milliliters?

• A. 450 ml
• B. 45 ml
• C. 4.5 ml
• D. 0.45 ml

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert liters to milliliters, you need to multiply by 1000 since 1 liter equals 1000 milliliters. Therefore, 0.45 liters is equivalent to 450 milliliters. Choice B, 45 ml, is incorrect as it represents the conversion of 0.045 liters to milliliters. Choice C, 4.5 ml, is incorrect as it represents the conversion of 0.0045 liters to milliliters. Choice D, 0.45 ml, is incorrect as it is the initial quantity in milliliters and not the result of the conversion.

3. What is 0.07 as a simplified fraction?

• A. 7/100
• B. 7/50
• C. 7/25
• D. 7/10

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The decimal 0.07 can be expressed as the fraction 7/100, where 7 is the numerator and 100 is the denominator. To simplify the fraction, you divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which in this case is 1. Therefore, 7/100 is already in its simplest form and cannot be further simplified. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect fractions as they do not represent the decimal 0.07.

4. What is 0.125 as a fraction?

• A. 1/8
• B. 1/4
• C. 1/2
• D. 1/16

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert 0.125 to a fraction, we write it as 125/1000. Simplifying by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 125 gives us 1/8. Therefore, choice A (1/8) is the correct answer. Choice B (1/4) is incorrect as it represents 0.25, not 0.125. Choice C (1/2) is incorrect as it represents 0.5, not 0.125. Choice D (1/16) is incorrect as it represents 0.0625, not 0.125.

5. What is 0.2 rounded to the nearest tenth?

• A. 0.1
• B. 0.2
• C. 0.3
• D. 0.25

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The decimal 0.2 is already at the nearest tenth, so it does not need to be rounded. Rounding to the nearest tenth means keeping one decimal place, which is already the case with 0.2. Therefore, the correct answer is 0.2, as it is already at the specified rounding point. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they represent values that are not the result of rounding 0.2 to the nearest tenth. 0.1 is rounding down, 0.3 is rounding up, and 0.25 is not the nearest tenth of 0.2.
