1. What is 0.03 as a fraction?

• A. 3/100
• B. 1/30
• C. 1/3
• D. 1/10

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert a decimal to a fraction, you place the decimal value over a power of 10, where the number of zeros in the denominator is equal to the number of decimal places in the decimal. In this case, 0.03 can be written as 3/100 because there are two decimal places (hundredths). This fraction is already in simplest form. Choice B, 1/30, is incorrect as it represents 0.033 as a fraction. Choice C, 1/3, is incorrect as it represents 0.3 as a fraction. Choice D, 1/10, is incorrect as it represents 0.1 as a fraction.

2. What is 0.2 rounded to the nearest tenth?

• A. 0.1
• B. 0.2
• C. 0.3
• D. 0.25

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The decimal 0.2 is already at the nearest tenth, so it does not need to be rounded. Rounding to the nearest tenth means keeping one decimal place, which is already the case with 0.2. Therefore, the correct answer is 0.2, as it is already at the specified rounding point. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they represent values that are not the result of rounding 0.2 to the nearest tenth. 0.1 is rounding down, 0.3 is rounding up, and 0.25 is not the nearest tenth of 0.2.

3. What is the metric equivalent of 1 inch?

• A. 1.54 cm
• B. 2.54 cm
• C. 3.54 cm
• D. 4.54 cm

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 2.54 cm. One inch is equivalent to 2.54 centimeters in the metric system. This conversion factor is commonly used in converting measurements between the imperial and metric systems. Choice A (1.54 cm), Choice C (3.54 cm), and Choice D (4.54 cm) are incorrect conversions and do not represent the accurate metric equivalent of 1 inch.

4. 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.

5. What is the official name of the metric system?

• A. International Measurement System
• B. International System of Units
• C. Metric Unit System
• D. Measurement System of Units

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The official name of the metric system is the International System of Units (SI). The International System of Units is a globally recognized standard for measurement. Choice A, 'International Measurement System,' is incorrect as it does not accurately reflect the official name. Choice C, 'Metric Unit System,' while related to the metric system, is not the precise official name. Choice D, 'Measurement System of Units,' is a mix-up of terms and does not represent the correct official name of the metric system.
