1. What is 0.5 liter in ounces?

• A. 16.91 oz
• B. 15.91 oz
• C. 17.91 oz
• D. 18.91 oz

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert liters to ounces, you need to multiply the liter value by 33.814. Therefore, to convert 0.5 liters to ounces, you would calculate 0.5 x 33.814 = 16.91 ounces. This conversion factor is commonly used in cooking and liquid measurements. Choice B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the accurate conversion from liters to ounces.

2. What is the metric prefix for 10^-12 and how does it relate to meters?

• A. pico- (p) = 10^-12 meters
• B. nano- (n) = 10^-12 meters
• C. femto- (f) = 10^-12 meters
• D. pico- (p) = 10^-15 meters

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The prefix 'femto-' stands for 10^-15, making femtometer equal to 10^-15 meters. The incorrect choices are A and B because 'pico-' represents 10^-12 (picometer) and 'nano-' represents 10^-9 (nanometer), respectively. Choice D is also incorrect as 'pico-' is associated with 10^-12, not 10^-15.

3. What is 0.5 liters in 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 equals 500 milliliters. This conversion is commonly used in various fields such as cooking, medicine, and science. Choice B, 50 ml, is incorrect as it represents 0.05 liters, not 0.5 liters. Choice C, 5 ml, is even smaller and represents 0.005 liters. Choice D, 0.5 ml, is incorrect as it is a tenth of the correct conversion.

4. Convert 345 kilometers to meters (m).

• A. 345,000 m
• B. 34,500 m
• C. 34,500,000 m
• D. 345,000,000 m

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert kilometers to meters, you need to multiply by 1,000 since there are 1,000 meters in a kilometer. Therefore, 345 km multiplied by 1,000 equals 345,000 meters. Choice A is incorrect as it incorrectly places the comma. Choice C is incorrect as it adds an extra zero at the end. Choice D is incorrect as it adds an extra zero at the beginning, resulting in an incorrect conversion.

5. What is 0.04 grams converted to milligrams?

• A. 40 mg
• B. 4 mg
• C. 400 mg
• D. 0.4 mg

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert grams to milligrams, you need to multiply by 1000, not 10000. Therefore, to convert 0.04 grams to milligrams, you multiply 0.04 by 1000, which equals 40 mg. Choice A (40 mg) is the correct answer. Choice B (4 mg) is incorrect as it represents converting 0.004 grams to milligrams. Choice C (400 mg) is incorrect as it is 10 times the correct conversion. Choice D (0.4 mg) is incorrect as it is 10 times smaller than the correct conversion.
