1. How many milliliters are in a tablespoon?

• A. 10 ml
• B. 15 ml
• C. 5 ml
• D. 20 ml

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 15 ml. One tablespoon is equivalent to 15 milliliters. The conversion factor for tablespoons to milliliters is 1 tablespoon = 15 milliliters. Choice A (10 ml) is incorrect because it is not the standard conversion for a tablespoon. Choice C (5 ml) is incorrect as it is too low for a tablespoon. Choice D (20 ml) is incorrect as it is too high for a tablespoon. Therefore, the correct conversion is 15 milliliters for one tablespoon.

2. What is the correct conversion of 35,400 milligrams to grams (g)?

• A. 35.4 g
• B. 35.4 g
• C. 354 g
• D. 354,000 g

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert milligrams to grams, you need to divide by 1,000 because there are 1,000 milligrams in a gram. Therefore, 35,400 mg ÷ 1,000 = 35.4 grams. Choice A is incorrect because it does not account for the conversion from milligrams to grams. Choice C is incorrect as it incorrectly drops a zero, leading to an inaccurate conversion. Choice D is incorrect as it incorrectly multiplies instead of dividing, resulting in a significantly larger value than the correct answer.

3. What is the equivalent of 3.54 millimeters in meters (m)?

• A. 0.0354 m
• B. 0.00354 m
• C. 35.4 m
• D. 0.035 m

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert millimeters to meters, you need to divide by 1,000 since there are 1,000 millimeters in a meter. Therefore, 3.54 mm ÷ 1,000 = 0.00354 meters. Choice A (0.0354 m) is incorrect as it is 10 times the correct conversion. Choice C (35.4 m) is incorrect as it would be the equivalent of 35,400 millimeters. Choice D (0.035 m) is also incorrect as it is 100 times greater than the correct conversion.

4. Convert 35.40 kilograms to grams (g).

• A. 354 g
• B. 35,400 g
• C. 3,540 g
• D. 3.54 g

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert kilograms to grams, you need to multiply by 1,000 since there are 1,000 grams in a kilogram. Therefore, 35.40 kg × 1,000 = 35,400 grams. Choice A (354 g) is incorrect because it is off by a factor of 10. Choice C (3,540 g) is incorrect as it is off by a factor of 100. Choice D (3.54 g) is incorrect as it represents kilograms instead of grams.

5. 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.
