Question 1 of 5

How many milliliters are in 1.5 liters?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To convert liters to milliliters, you need to multiply by 1,000 since there are 1,000 milliliters in a liter. Therefore, 1.5 liters x 1,000 = 1,500 milliliters. Choice A, 15 mL, is incorrect as it represents the conversion of 0.015 liters. Choice C, 150 mL, is incorrect as it represents the conversion of 0.15 liters. Choice D, 150,000 mL, is incorrect as it represents the conversion of 150 liters.

Question 2 of 5

The prefix 'milli' stands for 0.001 (10^-3). This means, 1 mm is the same as:

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: '0.001 m.' The prefix 'milli' represents a factor of 10^-3, which means one millimeter (mm) is equivalent to 0.001 meters (m). Therefore, 1 mm is equal to 0.001 m. Choice A, '0.01 m,' is incorrect as it represents 0.01 meters, not 0.001 meters. Choice C, '0.1 m,' is incorrect because it stands for 0.1 meters, which is 10 times greater than 1 mm. Choice D, '1 m,' is incorrect as it represents 1 meter, which is 1000 times greater than 1 mm.

Question 3 of 5

What is the correct formula to convert Fahrenheit to Celsius?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct formula to convert Fahrenheit to Celsius is C = (F - 32) 5/9. This formula is derived from the relationship between the two temperature scales. The incorrect choices can be ruled out as follows: A. F = (C 9/5) + 32 - This formula is used to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit. C. C = (F - 32) 9/5 - This formula incorrectly multiplies by 9/5 instead of dividing. D. F = (C + 32) 5/9 - This formula does not subtract the constant 32 from the Fahrenheit value.

Question 4 of 5

The SI prefixes micro and milli represent, respectively:

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The prefixes 'micro-' and 'milli-' represent 10^-6 and 10^-3, respectively. 'Micro-' denotes one-millionth (10^-6), while 'milli-' denotes one-thousandth (10^-3). Choice B is incorrect because it confuses the order of magnitudes for micro and milli. Choice C and D are also incorrect as they provide the wrong values for the prefixes micro and milli.

Question 5 of 5

What is the expression 1 in. = 2.54 cm properly called?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Exact Equivalent. The expression 1 inch = 2.54 cm is a direct and precise conversion between inches and centimeters, making it an exact equivalent. It is not related to the Law of Conservation of Units (A) as this principle pertains to the conservation of physical quantities in a system. The International Yard (B) is a unit of measurement, but it is not the term for the given expression. Similarly, while the conversion factor in the expression is standard, it is specifically an exact equivalent and not just a general standard conversion factor (C). Therefore, D is the most appropriate term to describe this specific conversion relationship.
