1. What is 0.07 expressed as a fraction?

• A. 7/100
• B. 1/10
• C. 1/20
• D. 1/50

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert a decimal to a fraction, we read the decimal as '7 hundredths,' which is written as 7/100. This fraction is already in its simplest form. Choice B, 1/10, is incorrect as it represents 0.1, not 0.07. Choices C and D, 1/20 and 1/50 respectively, do not match the decimal 0.07.

2. How many liters are in 3,000 milliliters?

• A. 0.3 liters
• B. 30 liters
• C. 3 liters
• D. 0.03 liters

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert milliliters to liters, you need to divide by 1,000 since there are 1,000 milliliters in a liter. Therefore, 3,000 milliliters / 1,000 = 3 liters. Choice A '0.3 liters' is incorrect as it represents 300 milliliters, not 3,000. Choice B '30 liters' is incorrect as it is the result of multiplying by 10 instead of dividing by 1,000. Choice D '0.03 liters' is incorrect as it represents 30 milliliters, not 3,000.

3. How many milliliters are in a tablespoon?

• A. 10 ml
• B. 15 ml
• C. 5 ml
• D. 20 ml

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 15 ml. One tablespoon is equivalent to 15 milliliters. The conversion factor for tablespoons to milliliters is 1 tablespoon = 15 milliliters. Choice A (10 ml) is incorrect because it is not the standard conversion for a tablespoon. Choice C (5 ml) is incorrect as it is too low for a tablespoon. Choice D (20 ml) is incorrect as it is too high for a tablespoon. Therefore, the correct conversion is 15 milliliters for one tablespoon.

4. What is the result of multiplying 0.15 by 60?

• A. 9
• B. 15
• C. 45
• D. 60

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 9. To find the result of multiplying 0.15 by 60, you simply multiply the two numbers together. 0.15 * 60 = 9. This calculation involves basic multiplication. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct product of 0.15 and 60. Understanding how to multiply decimals and whole numbers is essential in various real-life scenarios such as calculating percentages or adjusting measurements.

5. Convert 3.75 liters to milliliters.

• A. 3.75 ml
• B. 375 ml
• C. 3750 ml
• D. 37.5 ml

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert liters to milliliters, you need to multiply by 1000 since there are 1000 milliliters in 1 liter. Therefore, 3.75 liters x 1000 = 3750 milliliters. This means that option C, 3750 ml, is the correct conversion. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the correct conversion from liters to milliliters.
