1. 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.

2. How many ounces are in 2 quarts?

• A. 8 ounces
• B. 32 ounces
• C. 16 ounces
• D. 64 ounces

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert quarts to ounces, you need to know that 1 quart is equal to 32 ounces. Therefore, 2 quarts would be 2 x 32 = 64 ounces. The correct answer is not 16 ounces as stated in the original rationale. The correct answer is 64 ounces, which corresponds to 2 quarts. As a result, 'C: 16 ounces' is incorrect. Options A, B, and D are also incorrect as they do not reflect the accurate conversion from quarts to ounces.

3. Which of the following is equal to 0.16 inches?

• A. 0.016 inches
• B. 0.16 inches
• C. 1.6 inches
• D. 16 inches

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 0.16 inches. This value is already in its simplest form and represents sixteen one-hundredths of an inch. Choice A, 0.016 inches, is incorrect as it represents sixteen thousandths of an inch, not the given value. Choice C, 1.6 inches, is incorrect as it represents one and six-tenths inches, which is larger than the given value. Choice D, 16 inches, is incorrect as it represents sixteen inches, which is significantly larger than the given value of 0.16 inches.

4. 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.

5. Convert 5 kilograms to grams.

• A. 50 grams
• B. 500 grams
• C. 5,000 grams
• D. 50,000 grams

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert kilograms to grams, you need to multiply by 1000 since there are 1000 grams in a kilogram. Therefore, 5 kilograms is equal to 5,000 grams. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly convert the given amount of kilograms to grams.
