1. The prefix 'milli' stands for 0.001 (10^-3). This means, 1 mm is the same as:

• A. 0.01 m
• B. 0.001 m
• C. 0.1 m
• D. 1 m

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: '0.001 m.' The prefix 'milli' represents a factor of 10^-3, which means one millimeter (mm) is equivalent to 0.001 meters (m). Therefore, 1 mm is equal to 0.001 m. Choice A, '0.01 m,' is incorrect as it represents 0.01 meters, not 0.001 meters. Choice C, '0.1 m,' is incorrect because it stands for 0.1 meters, which is 10 times greater than 1 mm. Choice D, '1 m,' is incorrect as it represents 1 meter, which is 1000 times greater than 1 mm.

2. Convert 0.29 pounds to ounces.

• A. 2.9 ounces
• B. 4.64 ounces
• C. 29 ounces
• D. 46.4 ounces

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert pounds to ounces, you need to know that there are 16 ounces in a pound. Multiplying 0.29 pounds by 16 gives you 4.64 ounces. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Choice A (2.9 ounces) is incorrect as it doesn't consider the conversion factor of 16 ounces per pound. Choice C (29 ounces) and Choice D (46.4 ounces) are incorrect because they incorrectly interpret the conversion from pounds to ounces.

3. What is the conversion factor from milliliters to liters?

• A. 0.001 liters
• B. 0.01 liters
• C. 1 liter
• D. 10 liters

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert milliliters to liters, you need to divide by 1000 since there are 1000 milliliters in a liter. Therefore, the correct conversion factor is 0.001 liters (1 liter = 1000 milliliters). Choice B (0.01 liters) is incorrect as it suggests dividing by 100, which is not the correct conversion. Choice C (1 liter) is incorrect because it is the equivalent value in liters, not the conversion factor. Choice D (10 liters) is incorrect as it is not the correct conversion of milliliters to liters.

4. How many millimeters (mm) are in 3.45 meters?

• A. 345 mm
• B. 3,450 mm
• C. 345,000 mm
• D. 3.45 mm

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert meters to millimeters, you need to multiply by 1,000 because there are 1,000 millimeters in a meter. Therefore, 3.45 meters × 1,000 = 3,450 millimeters. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the correct conversion factor from meters to millimeters.

5. What is 0.5 multiplied by 20?

• A. 10
• B. 15
• C. 20
• D. 25

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the product of 0.5 and 20, you multiply them together. 0.5 x 20 = 10. This calculation involves multiplying a decimal (0.5) by a whole number (20). Choice A, '10', is the correct answer. Choice B, '15', is incorrect as it does not accurately represent the result of multiplying 0.5 by 20. Choices C and D, '20' and '25', are also incorrect as they do not reflect the correct calculation. This question assesses your ability to perform basic arithmetic operations involving decimals and whole numbers.
