1. How many liters are in 300 milliliters?

• A. 0.3 liters
• B. 3 liters
• C. 0.03 liters
• D. 3.3 liters

Correct answer: A

Rationale: 300 milliliters is equivalent to 0.3 liters. To convert milliliters to liters, you need to move the decimal three places to the left. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B (3 liters) is incorrect as it represents the conversion of 3000 milliliters. Choice C (0.03 liters) is incorrect as it represents the conversion of 30 milliliters. Choice D (3.3 liters) is also incorrect as it is not the correct conversion of 300 milliliters.

2. Which of the following is equivalent to 0.0009?

• A. 0.09%
• B. 9%
• C. 0.01%
• D. 0.90%

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 0.09%. To convert 0.0009 to a percentage, move the decimal point four places to the right and add a percentage sign. Therefore, 0.0009 is equal to 0.09%. Choice B (9%) is incorrect as it represents 0.09 without the decimal point adjustment. Choice C (0.01%) is incorrect as it represents 0.0009 with one less zero. Choice D (0.90%) is incorrect as it represents 0.9 not 0.0009.

3. Which of these dates is represented by the Roman numeral MMXV?

• A. 2001
• B. 2015
• C. 2051
• D. 2105

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The Roman numeral MMXV represents the year 2015. In Roman numerals, M represents 1000, X represents 10, and V represents 5. Therefore, by converting the Roman numeral MMXV into its numerical equivalent (1000 + 10 + 5), it corresponds to the year 2015. Choice A (2001) is incorrect as it would be represented as MM + I, choice C (2051) would be represented as MM + LI, and choice D (2105) would be represented as MMCV in Roman numerals, making them all inaccurate representations of MMXV.

4. If the ratio and proportion 15:2000=x:200, what is the value of x?

• A. 7
• B. 0
• C. 7,777
• D. 1

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To find the value of x in the given ratio and proportion, we can set up the equation as 15:2000=x:200. Cross multiply to get x * 2000 = 15 * 200. Simplifying this gives x = 1. Therefore, the correct answer is D, which is 1. Choice A (7), Choice B (0), and Choice C (7,777) are incorrect as they do not match the correct calculation of x.

5. How many liters are in 8,000 milliliters?

• A. 0.8 liters
• B. 8 liters
• C. 0.8 liters
• D. 0.08 liters

Correct answer: B

Rationale: There are 1,000 milliliters in a liter. To convert milliliters to liters, you divide by 1,000. Therefore, 8,000 milliliters ÷ 1,000 = 8 liters. This makes option B the correct answer. Option A, 0.8 liters, is incorrect as it is 1/10th of the correct answer. Option C, 0.8 liters (repeated), is also incorrect. Option D, 0.08 liters, is incorrect as it is 1/100th of the correct answer.
