Question 1 of 5

What does the prefix 'Tera' refer to?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The prefix 'Tera' corresponds to a factor of 10^12, which is equivalent to one trillion. It is commonly used in various fields like data storage to denote large quantities. Choice B, '10^9,' is incorrect as it corresponds to the prefix 'Giga.' Choice C, '10^15,' is incorrect as it corresponds to the prefix 'Peta.' Choice D, '10^6,' is incorrect as it corresponds to the prefix 'Mega.' Therefore, the correct answer is A.

Question 2 of 5

What does 'cm' stand for in the metric system?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: In the metric system, 'cm' stands for centimeter, which is a unit of length equal to 1/100th of a meter. The correct answer is 'centimeter' (A). Choice B, 'cubic meter,' is a unit of volume, not length. Choice C, 'cord,' is not a standard metric unit. Choice D, 'centi,' is a prefix meaning one-hundredth, but 'cm' specifically stands for centimeter, not just the prefix.

Question 3 of 5

How many milligrams (mg) are equal to 1 gram?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To convert grams to milligrams, you need to multiply by 1,000 because there are 1,000 milligrams in 1 gram. Therefore, 1 gram 1,000 = 1,000 milligrams. Choice A (100 mg) is incorrect as it represents 0.1 grams, not 1 gram. Choice C (1 mg) is incorrect as it represents a fraction of a gram. Choice D (10,000 mg) is incorrect as it is 10 times more than the correct conversion.

Question 5 of 5

Convert 0.345 kilometers to meters (m).

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To convert kilometers to meters, you need to multiply by 1,000 since there are 1,000 meters in 1 kilometer. Therefore, 0.345 km 1,000 = 345 meters. Choice A (3.45 m) is incorrect because it is the result of a mathematical error; the decimal point was misplaced. Choice C (345 cm) is incorrect as it represents centimeters, not meters. Choice D (345 m) is a duplicate of the correct answer B.
