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: 0.5 liters is equivalent to 500 milliliters. The conversion from liters to milliliters involves multiplying by 1000 since there are 1000 milliliters in a liter. Therefore, the correct answer is 500 ml. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly convert liters to milliliters. 50 ml is the conversion for 0.05 liters, 5 ml for 0.005 liters, and 0.5 ml for 0.0005 liters.

2. How many yards are in one mile?

• A. 1760 yards
• B. 1500 yards
• C. 2000 yards
• D. 1800 yards

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 1760 yards. There are 1760 yards in one mile. This conversion is a standard unit of measurement in the imperial system. Choice B, 1500 yards, is incorrect as it is not the correct conversion from miles to yards. Choice C, 2000 yards, is also incorrect as it does not represent the accurate conversion. Choice D, 1800 yards, is incorrect as it does not reflect the correct number of yards in a mile according to the established conversion rate.

3. How many grams are in 2 kilograms?

• A. 200 grams
• B. 2000 grams
• C. 20 grams
• D. 2 grams

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert kilograms to grams, you need to multiply by 1000 since there are 1000 grams in a kilogram. Therefore, 2 kilograms is equal to 2 x 1000 = 2000 grams. Choice A (200 grams) is incorrect as it represents the value of 0.2 kilograms. Choice C (20 grams) is incorrect as it represents the value of 0.02 kilograms. Choice D (2 grams) is incorrect as it represents the value of 0.002 kilograms.

4. Which conversion is accurate?

• A. 1 inch = 2.5 cm
• B. 1 meter = 39.37 inches
• C. 1 liter = 1.057 quarts
• D. 1 gram = 100 milligrams

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: '1 liter = 1.057 quarts.' This conversion is accurate as it reflects the precise relationship between liters and quarts, where 1 liter is slightly more than a quart. Choice A is incorrect because 1 inch is approximately equal to 2.54 cm, not 2.5 cm. Choice B is incorrect as 1 meter is equivalent to approximately 39.37 inches, not exactly. Choice D is also inaccurate as 1 gram is equal to 1000 milligrams, not 100 milligrams.

5. What does 'kg' stand for in the metric system?

• A. kilogram
• B. keg
• C. kroner
• D. kraken

Correct answer: A

Rationale: 'kg' stands for kilogram, the unit of mass equal to 1,000 grams. In the metric system, 'kg' specifically represents the unit of mass, making 'kilogram' the correct choice. The other choices, 'keg,' 'kroner,' and 'kraken,' do not represent the standard unit of mass in the metric system and are therefore incorrect.
