1. What is 0.5 liters in milliliters?

• 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 because 1 liter is equal to 1000 milliliters. Therefore, when you convert 0.5 liters to milliliters, you get 500 milliliters (0.5 * 1000 = 500). This conversion is commonly used in various situations where different units of volume are required. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not follow the correct conversion factor between liters and milliliters.

2. How many pounds are in 1 ton?

• A. 1000 pounds
• B. 2000 pounds
• C. 1500 pounds
• D. 2500 pounds

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 2000 pounds. A ton is equivalent to 2000 pounds. This is a standard conversion in the imperial system of measurement. Choice A, 1000 pounds, is incorrect as it represents half a ton. Choice C, 1500 pounds, and Choice D, 2500 pounds, are also incorrect as they do not match the correct conversion of 1 ton to 2000 pounds.

3. What is 1500 milliliters in liters?

• A. 1.5 liters
• B. 0.15 liters
• C. 15 liters
• D. 0.015 liters

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert milliliters to liters, you need to divide by 1000 since there are 1000 milliliters in 1 liter. Therefore, 1500 milliliters divided by 1000 equals 1.5 liters, making option A the correct answer. Option B, 0.15 liters, is incorrect as it would be the conversion of 150 milliliters. Option C, 15 liters, is incorrect because it would be the conversion of 15,000 milliliters. Option D, 0.015 liters, is incorrect as it would be the conversion of 15 milliliters.

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. Convert 5 kilometers to meters.

• A. 50 meters
• B. 500 meters
• C. 5000 meters
• D. 0.5 meters

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert kilometers to meters, you need to multiply by 1000 because there are 1000 meters in 1 kilometer. Therefore, 5 kilometers x 1000 = 5000 meters. Choice A (50 meters) is incorrect because it underestimates the conversion. Choice B (500 meters) is incorrect as it also underestimates the conversion. Choice D (0.5 meters) is incorrect as it incorrectly represents the conversion as less than a kilometer.
