1. How many pints are in one quart?

• A. 1 pint
• B. 2 pints
• C. 3 pints
• D. 4 pints

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 2 pints. There are 2 pints in one quart. A quart is equivalent to 2 pints, so each quart contains 2 pints. Choice A, 1 pint, is incorrect because a quart consists of more than 1 pint. Choice C, 3 pints, and Choice D, 4 pints, are also incorrect as they do not accurately represent the conversion of quarts to pints.

2. What is the result of multiplying 0.15 by 60?

• A. 9
• B. 15
• C. 45
• D. 60

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 9. To find the result of multiplying 0.15 by 60, you simply multiply the two numbers together. 0.15 * 60 = 9. This calculation involves basic multiplication. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct product of 0.15 and 60. Understanding how to multiply decimals and whole numbers is essential in various real-life scenarios such as calculating percentages or adjusting measurements.

3. What is 0.05 mg in mcg?

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

Correct answer: A

Rationale: 0.05 mg is equivalent to 50 mcg because 1 mg is equal to 1000 mcg. To convert milligrams to micrograms, you need to multiply by 1000. Therefore, 0.05 mg x 1000 = 50 mcg. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly convert milligrams to micrograms. Option B (500 mcg) would be the result if the conversion was done incorrectly by adding an extra zero, while options C (5 mcg) and D (0.5 mcg) are incorrect due to miscalculating the conversion factor.

4. What is 0.4 expressed in inches?

• A. 0.04 inches
• B. 4 inches
• C. 0.4 inches
• D. 40 inches

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To express 0.4 in inches, you don't need to convert it further as it is already in inches. Therefore, the correct answer is 0.4 inches. Choice A (0.04 inches) is incorrect as it represents a smaller quantity. Choice B (4 inches) and Choice D (40 inches) are incorrect as they represent larger quantities, which are not equivalent to 0.4 inches.

5. What does 'L' stand for in the metric system?

• A. liter
• B. log
• C. link
• D. lever

Correct answer: A

Rationale: In the metric system, 'L' stands for liter, which is the base unit for liquid volume. The other choices are incorrect: 'B' log is not a standard metric unit, 'C' link is a unit of length in the Imperial system, and 'D' lever is not a metric unit but a simple machine.
