Question 3 of 5
Convert 345,000 millimeters to centimeters (cm).
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To convert millimeters to centimeters, you need to divide by 10 since there are 10 millimeters in 1 centimeter. Therefore, 345,000 mm · 10 = 34,500 cm. Choice A is incorrect because it is a factor of 10 higher than the correct answer. Choice C is incorrect because it represents the original quantity in centimeters, not the converted value. Choice D is incorrect as it erroneously multiplies the millimeters by 1,000 instead of dividing by 10 to convert to centimeters.
Question 4 of 5
What is the equivalent of 3,450 milliliters in liters (L)?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To convert milliliters to liters, you need to divide by 1,000 since there are 1,000 milliliters in a liter. Therefore, 3,450 mL · 1,000 = 3.45 liters. Choice A (0.345 liters) is incorrect as it incorrectly moves the decimal point. Choice C (34.5 liters) is incorrect as it overestimates the conversion. Choice D (345 liters) is incorrect as it overestimates by an order of magnitude.
Question 5 of 5
Convert 35.40 kilograms to grams (g).
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To convert kilograms to grams, you need to multiply by 1,000 since there are 1,000 grams in a kilogram. Therefore, 35.40 kg 1,000 = 35,400 grams. Choice A (354 g) is incorrect because it is off by a factor of 10. Choice C (3,540 g) is incorrect as it is off by a factor of 100. Choice D (3.54 g) is incorrect as it represents kilograms instead of grams.
