Question 1 of 9
What is 0.25 mg to mcg?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 2 of 9
Which instrument is used to measure the mass of an object?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A balance scale is specifically designed to measure the mass of an object in grams or kilograms. It works based on the principle of balancing the unknown mass against a known mass. A thermometer is used to measure temperature, not mass, so choice A is incorrect. Choice C, 'scale,' is a bit vague and can refer to different types of scales, but a balance scale is the specific instrument used for measuring mass. Choice D, 'caliper,' is used for measuring dimensions such as length, width, or thickness, not mass.
Question 3 of 9
What is 0.4 grams in milligrams?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To convert grams to milligrams, you need to multiply by 1000 as there are 1000 milligrams in one gram. Therefore, 0.4 grams x 1000 = 400 mg. Choice A, 400 mg, is the correct answer. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly apply the conversion factor of 1000 to convert grams to milligrams.
Question 4 of 9
Convert 250 milliliters to liters.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To convert milliliters to liters, you need to divide by 1000 since there are 1000 milliliters in a liter. Therefore, 250 milliliters is equal to 250/1000 = 0.25 liters. Choice A, 25 liters, is incorrect as it is a magnitude higher than the correct answer. Choice C, 2.5 liters, is also incorrect as it is 10 times greater than the correct conversion. Choice D, 0.025 liters, is incorrect as it is a magnitude lower than the correct conversion.
Question 5 of 9
How many kilometers (km) is equivalent to 1,000 meters?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To convert meters to kilometers, the conversion factor is 1 kilometer = 1,000 meters. Therefore, to find how many kilometers are in 1,000 meters, you divide 1,000 by 1,000, which equals 1 kilometer. Choice A (0.1 km), Choice C (10 km), and Choice D (0.01 km) are incorrect because they do not correctly represent the conversion of 1,000 meters to kilometers.
Question 6 of 9
The prefix giga is represented by the following notation ________.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'G'. The prefix 'giga' is commonly represented by the letter 'G' and corresponds to a factor of 10^9, which is equivalent to one billion. Choice B, 'm', represents the prefix 'milli', which corresponds to a factor of 10^-3, not 'giga'. Choice C, 'Gg', is incorrect as the prefix 'giga' is represented by a single letter 'G', not 'Gg'. Choice D, 'g', is incorrect as it represents the prefix 'gram' in the International System of Units (SI) and not the prefix 'giga'.
Question 7 of 9
What is 0.07 as a simplified fraction?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The decimal 0.07 can be expressed as the fraction 7/100, where 7 is the numerator and 100 is the denominator. To simplify the fraction, you divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which in this case is 1. Therefore, 7/100 is already in its simplest form and cannot be further simplified. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect fractions as they do not represent the decimal 0.07.
Question 8 of 9
Convert 0.20 liters to milliliters. What is the equivalent volume?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To convert liters to milliliters, you need to multiply by 1000 since there are 1000 milliliters in 1 liter. So, 0.20 liters x 1000 = 200 milliliters. This makes choice A, '200 ml,' the correct answer. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the correct conversion factor from liters to milliliters.
Question 9 of 9
Where was the metric system developed?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
