1. What does 'kg' stand for in the metric system?

• A. kilogram
• B. keg
• C. kroner
• D. kraken

Correct answer: A

Rationale: 'kg' stands for kilogram, the unit of mass equal to 1,000 grams. In the metric system, 'kg' specifically represents the unit of mass, making 'kilogram' the correct choice. The other choices, 'keg,' 'kroner,' and 'kraken,' do not represent the standard unit of mass in the metric system and are therefore incorrect.

2. How many ounces are in 0.5 liters?

• A. 16.91 oz
• B. 15.91 oz
• C. 17.91 oz
• D. 18.91 oz

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert liters to ounces, you need to multiply the volume in liters by 33.814. In this case, 0.5 liters multiplied by 33.814 equals approximately 16.91 ounces. This conversion is commonly used in culinary and liquid measurements. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct conversion factor from liters to ounces.

3. What is 0.125 as a fraction?

• A. 1/8
• B. 1/4
• C. 1/2
• D. 1/16

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert 0.125 to a fraction, we write it as 125/1000. Simplifying by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 125 gives us 1/8. Therefore, choice A (1/8) is the correct answer. Choice B (1/4) is incorrect as it represents 0.25, not 0.125. Choice C (1/2) is incorrect as it represents 0.5, not 0.125. Choice D (1/16) is incorrect as it represents 0.0625, not 0.125.

4. How many grams are in one kilogram?

• A. 100 grams
• B. 1000 grams
• C. 500 grams
• D. 2000 grams

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 1000 grams. This is because by definition, 1 kilogram is equal to 1000 grams. Choice A, 100 grams, is incorrect as it underestimates the actual conversion. Choice C, 500 grams, and Choice D, 2000 grams, are also incorrect as they do not align with the correct conversion factor of 1 kilogram to 1000 grams.

5. 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.
