Question 1 of 5
How many millimeters (mm) are in 3.45 meters?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To convert meters to millimeters, you need to multiply by 1,000 because there are 1,000 millimeters in a meter. Therefore, 3.45 meters 1,000 = 3,450 millimeters. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the correct conversion factor from meters to millimeters.
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following is equal to 0.16 inches?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: 0.16 inches. This value is already in its simplest form and represents sixteen one-hundredths of an inch. Choice A, 0.016 inches, is incorrect as it represents sixteen thousandths of an inch, not the given value. Choice C, 1.6 inches, is incorrect as it represents one and six-tenths inches, which is larger than the given value. Choice D, 16 inches, is incorrect as it represents sixteen inches, which is significantly larger than the given value of 0.16 inches.
Question 3 of 5
What is 0.5 x 200?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To find the product of 0.5 and 200, you multiply the two numbers, which equals 100. The correct answer is A. Choice B, 50, is the result of multiplying 0.5 by 100 instead of 200. Choice C, 150, is the result of adding 0.5 and 200 instead of multiplying them. Choice D, 200, is the second number in the multiplication operation and not the correct product.
Question 4 of 5
Convert 100 grams to kilograms.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To convert grams to kilograms, you need to divide by 1000 since there are 1000 grams in a kilogram. So, 100 grams divided by 1000 equals 0.1 kilograms, making choice A the correct answer. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not involve the correct conversion factor or calculation. Choice B of 1 kg is the equivalent of 1000 grams, which is 10 times the given value of 100 grams, making it too large. Choice C of 10 kg is 100 times the given value, and choice D of 0.01 kg is 10 times smaller than the correct conversion.
