1. How many quarts are in 1 gallon?

• A. 2 quarts
• B. 4 quarts
• C. 3 quarts
• D. 1 quart

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 4 quarts. There are 4 quarts in 1 gallon. This conversion is based on the fact that 1 gallon is equivalent to 4 quarts. Choice A is incorrect as 2 quarts are half of a gallon, not a whole gallon. Choice C is incorrect as 3 quarts is less than a gallon. Choice D is incorrect as it represents only one quart, whereas the question asks for the quantity in a gallon.

2. Which of the following is equal to 0.13 inches?

• A. 0.013 inches
• B. 1.3 inches
• C. 0.13 inches
• D. 13 inches

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: 0.13 inches. When converting decimals to inches, the value remains the same. Choice A, 0.013 inches, represents a smaller value than 0.13 inches as it has an extra zero. Choice B, 1.3 inches, is incorrect as it is a larger value than 0.13 inches. Choice D, 13 inches, is significantly larger than 0.13 inches, making it an incorrect conversion.

3. What is 0.1 kg in grams?

• A. 100 g
• B. 10 g
• C. 1 g
• D. 0.1 g

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert kilograms to grams, you need to multiply by 1,000 since there are 1,000 grams in a kilogram. Therefore, 0.1 kg equals 100 grams. Choice B (10 g) is incorrect because it represents converting 0.01 kg to grams. Choice C (1 g) is incorrect as it reflects the conversion of 0.001 kg to grams. Choice D (0.1 g) is the value in grams equivalent to 0.01 kg, not 0.1 kg.

4. How many quarts are equivalent to 2 liters?

• A. 1.06 quarts
• B. 0.5 quarts
• C. 2.1 quarts
• D. 4 quarts

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert liters to quarts, we know that 1 liter is approximately equal to 1.06 quarts. Therefore, 2 liters would be around 2.12 quarts. However, for practical purposes, it's often rounded to 2.1 quarts. Option A, '1.06 quarts,' is the closest and most accurate approximation. Option B, '0.5 quarts,' is incorrect as it represents half of the actual conversion. Option C, '2.1 quarts,' is close but slightly higher than the actual conversion. Option D, '4 quarts,' is double the correct conversion and is therefore incorrect.

5. Convert 0.345 kilometers to meters (m).

• A. 3.45 m
• B. 345 m
• C. 345 cm
• D. 345 m

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert kilometers to meters, you need to multiply by 1,000 since there are 1,000 meters in 1 kilometer. Therefore, 0.345 km × 1,000 = 345 meters. Choice A (3.45 m) is incorrect because it is the result of a mathematical error; the decimal point was misplaced. Choice C (345 cm) is incorrect as it represents centimeters, not meters. Choice D (345 m) is a duplicate of the correct answer B.
