1. What is 0.3 ml in tsp?

• A. 0.06 tsp
• B. 0.1 tsp
• C. 0.2 tsp
• D. 0.3 tsp

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert milliliters to teaspoons, you can use the conversion factor that there are approximately 5 milliliters in a teaspoon. When you divide 0.3 ml by 5, you get 0.06 teaspoons, which is equivalent to 0.06 tsp. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B, 0.1 tsp, is incorrect because it does not result from the conversion of 0.3 ml to tsp. Choice C, 0.2 tsp, is also incorrect as it does not accurately represent the conversion. Choice D, 0.3 tsp, is the same value as the original quantity in milliliters, which is not the correct conversion to teaspoons.

2. What is 0.16 as a fraction?

• A. 16\100
• B. 16\1000
• C. 4\25
• D. 4\50

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert 0.16 into a fraction, you write it as 16\100, which simplifies to 4\25. This fraction is in its simplest form and accurately represents the original decimal value without further reduction. Choice A (16\1000) is incorrect because the fraction is not simplified, and Choice D (4\50) is incorrect as it simplifies to 2\25, not representing the original decimal value. Therefore, Choice C is the correct answer.

3. What is the formula to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit?

• A. (C × 9/5) + 32
• B. (C × 5/9) + 32
• C. (F × 9/5) - 32
• D. (F × 5/9) - 32

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct formula to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit is (C × 9/5) + 32. This formula involves multiplying the Celsius temperature by 9/5 and then adding 32 to get the Fahrenheit temperature. Choice B is incorrect as it suggests dividing by 5/9 instead of multiplying by 9/5. Choices C and D are both incorrect because they involve using the Fahrenheit temperature in the calculation, which is not the correct method for converting Celsius to Fahrenheit.

4. Convert 0.0345 kilograms to grams (g).

• A. 3.45 grams
• B. 34.5 grams
• C. 345 grams
• D. 3450 grams

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert kilograms to grams, you need to multiply by 1,000 since 1 kilogram is equal to 1,000 grams. Therefore, 0.0345 kg multiplied by 1,000 equals 34.5 grams. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly convert kilograms to grams. A states 3.45 grams, which is off by a factor of 10. C and D overestimate the conversion by considering the decimal point in the original value as a whole number. Hence, the correct answer is B, 34.5 grams.

5. What is 0.5 L converted to mL?

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

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert liters to milliliters, you need to multiply by 1000 since 1 liter is equal to 1000 milliliters. Therefore, 0.5 liters multiplied by 1000 equals 500 milliliters. Choice A, 500 mL, is the correct answer. Choice B, 50 mL, is incorrect as it represents converting 0.05 liters to milliliters. Choice C, 5 mL, is incorrect as it represents converting 0.005 liters to milliliters. Choice D, 0.5 mL, is incorrect as it represents the original amount in milliliters, not the conversion of liters to milliliters.
