1. What is 0.3 as a fraction in simplest form?

• A. 3/10
• B. 1/3
• C. 1/4
• D. 1/5

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert 0.3 to a fraction, we take 0.3 and express it as 3/10. This fraction is already in its simplest form because 3 and 10 do not have any common factors other than 1. Choice B, 1/3, is incorrect as it represents a different value. Choice C, 1/4, and Choice D, 1/5, are also incorrect as they do not match the equivalent fraction for 0.3.

2. How many centimeters are in 0.25 meters?

• A. 2.5 cm
• B. 25 cm
• C. 250 cm
• D. 0.25 cm

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert meters to centimeters, you need to multiply by 100 since there are 100 centimeters in a meter. Therefore, 0.25 meters x 100 = 25 centimeters. Choice A, '2.5 cm,' is incorrect as it is the result of multiplying by 10 instead of 100. Choice C, '250 cm,' is incorrect as it is the result of multiplying by 1000. Choice D, '0.25 cm,' is incorrect as it suggests the conversion is in the opposite direction, from centimeters to meters.

3. How many quarts are equivalent to 2 liters?

• A. 1.06 quarts
• B. 0.5 quarts
• C. 2.1 quarts
• D. 4 quarts

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert liters to quarts, we know that 1 liter is approximately equal to 1.06 quarts. Therefore, 2 liters would be around 2.12 quarts. However, for practical purposes, it's often rounded to 2.1 quarts. Option A, '1.06 quarts,' is the closest and most accurate approximation. Option B, '0.5 quarts,' is incorrect as it represents half of the actual conversion. Option C, '2.1 quarts,' is close but slightly higher than the actual conversion. Option D, '4 quarts,' is double the correct conversion and is therefore incorrect.

4. How many milliliters are in 1 liter?

• A. 10 mL
• B. 100 mL
• C. 1,000 mL
• D. 10,000 mL

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 1,000 milliliters in 1 liter. The conversion from liters to milliliters involves multiplying by 1,000 since 1 liter is equivalent to 1,000 milliliters. Choice A, 10 mL, is incorrect as it represents only a fraction of a liter. Choice B, 100 mL, is also incorrect as it is one-tenth of a liter. Choice D, 10,000 mL, is significantly larger than the correct answer and represents 10 liters, not 1 liter.

5. What is 0.5 liters to milliliters?

• A. 500 ml
• B. 50 ml
• C. 5 ml
• D. 0.5 ml

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The question asks for the conversion of 0.5 liters to milliliters. The correct answer is 500 ml, which is derived from the standard conversion factor where 1 liter is equal to 1000 milliliters. Choice B, 50 ml, is incorrect as it represents the conversion of 0.05 liters to milliliters. Choice C, 5 ml, is incorrect as it corresponds to the conversion of 0.005 liters to milliliters. Choice D, 0.5 ml, is incorrect as it is the same value given in the question but in milliliters.
