1. How many liters are in 300 milliliters?

• A. 0.03 liters
• B. 3 liters
• C. 0.3 liters
• D. 0.003 liters

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert milliliters to liters, you need to divide by 1000 since there are 1000 milliliters in 1 liter. Therefore, 300 milliliters ÷ 1000 = 0.3 liters. Choice A, 0.03 liters, is the result of dividing by 10 instead of 1000. Choice B, 3 liters, is the result of multiplying instead of dividing. Choice D, 0.003 liters, is the result of dividing by 1000 twice, which is incorrect.

2. What is the probability of getting a 1 on a six-sided die?

• A. 1/6
• B. 1/4
• C. 1/3
• D. 1/2

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The probability of getting a '1' on a six-sided die is 1 out of 6 possible outcomes, making it a 1/6 probability. Therefore, choice A is correct. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not represent the correct probability of rolling a '1' on a standard six-sided die.

3. What number is 98 175% of?

• A. 48
• B. 52
• C. 54
• D. 56

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To find the number that 98 is 175% of, we can set up the equation: x = 1.75 * x. By solving this equation, we get x = 56. Therefore, 98 is 175% of 56. Choice D, 56, is the correct answer as it represents the number that satisfies the given condition. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not result in 98 when multiplied by 1.75.

4. Convert the percentage to a decimal: 38%

• A. 3.8
• B. 0.38
• C. 0.038
• D. 38.0

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert a percentage to a decimal, you divide the percentage by 100. Therefore, 38% as a decimal is 0.38 (38 ÷ 100 = 0.38). Choice A, 3.8, is incorrect as it is equivalent to 380%. Choice C, 0.038, is incorrect as it represents 3.8%. Choice D, 38.0, is incorrect as it is still in percentage form.

5. Express 0.025 as a ratio.

• A. 1:40
• B. 4:1
• C. 400:1
• D. 26:40:00

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert 0.025 to a ratio, we can express it as 25:1000 and simplify it by dividing both terms by 25, resulting in 1:40. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B (4:1) and C (400:1) do not represent the correct ratio for 0.025. Choice D (26:40:00) is incorrect as it does not follow the standard ratio format of two numbers separated by a colon.
