Question 1 of 5

Correct Answer: A
Rationale:
To convert 0.875 to a fraction, express it as 875\10000. Simplifying this fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 125 results in 7\80.
Question 2 of 5
Convert 1.5 kilometers to meters.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale:
To convert kilometers to meters, you need to multiply by 1,000 since there are 1,000 meters in a kilometer.
Therefore, 1.5 kilometers is equal to 1,500 meters (1.5 x 1,000 = 1,500).
Choice A, '1,500 meters,' is the correct answer.
Choice B, '150 meters,' is incorrect as it represents converting 0.15 kilometers to meters.
Choice C, '15,000 meters,' is incorrect as it represents multiplying by 10,000 instead of 1,000.
Choice D, '1.5 meters,' is incorrect as it doesn't convert the kilometers to meters accurately.
Question 3 of 5
How many milliliters are in 2 liters?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale:
To convert liters to milliliters, you need to multiply the number of liters by 1,000 since there are 1,000 milliliters in 1 liter.
Therefore, 2 liters x 1,000 = 2,000 milliliters.
Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not account for the correct conversion factor from liters to milliliters.
Question 4 of 5
What is the equivalent of 500 milliliters in liters?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
To convert milliliters to liters, you need to divide by 1000 since 1 liter is equal to 1000 milliliters.
Therefore, 500 milliliters divided by 1000 equals 0.5 liters.
Choice A (0.05 liters) is incorrect because it represents 50 milliliters, not 500 milliliters.
Choice C (5 liters) and
Choice D (50 liters) are both incorrect as they are higher values and do not accurately represent the conversion of 500 milliliters to liters.
Question 5 of 5
Convert 0.0345 kilograms to grams (g).
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.
