1. 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.

2. What is 0.5 liter in ml?

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

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert liters to milliliters, you multiply the number of liters by 1000. Therefore, 0.5 liters equals 500 milliliters. This conversion is standard in various fields, making choice A the correct answer. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly convert liters to milliliters.

3. Which instrument is used to measure the mass of an object?

• A. thermometer
• B. balance scale
• C. scale
• D. caliper

Correct answer: B

Rationale: A balance scale is specifically designed to measure the mass of an object in grams or kilograms. It works based on the principle of balancing the unknown mass against a known mass. A thermometer is used to measure temperature, not mass, so choice A is incorrect. Choice C, 'scale,' is a bit vague and can refer to different types of scales, but a balance scale is the specific instrument used for measuring mass. Choice D, 'caliper,' is used for measuring dimensions such as length, width, or thickness, not mass.

4. Convert 3,540 liters to milliliters (mL).

• A. 354,000 mL
• B. 3,540,000 mL
• C. 35,400 mL
• D. 35,400,000 mL

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert liters to milliliters, you need to multiply by 1,000 because there are 1,000 milliliters in 1 liter. Therefore, 3,540 liters × 1,000 = 3,540,000 milliliters. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly convert liters to milliliters. A, C, and D are off by a factor of 1,000, as they do not account for the conversion factor between liters and milliliters.

5. How many ounces are in 2 quarts?

• A. 8 ounces
• B. 32 ounces
• C. 16 ounces
• D. 64 ounces

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert quarts to ounces, you need to know that 1 quart is equal to 32 ounces. Therefore, 2 quarts would be 2 x 32 = 64 ounces. The correct answer is not 16 ounces as stated in the original rationale. The correct answer is 64 ounces, which corresponds to 2 quarts. As a result, 'C: 16 ounces' is incorrect. Options A, B, and D are also incorrect as they do not reflect the accurate conversion from quarts to ounces.
