Question 1 of 5
What is the equivalent temperature in Kelvin if the temperature is measured at 25 degrees Celsius?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: 298.15 K. The conversion from Celsius to Kelvin is K = C + 273.15. Therefore, 25°C is equivalent to 298.15 K, as 25 + 273.15 = 298.15. Choice B, 273.15 K, is the freezing point of water in Kelvin, not the equivalent of 25°C. Choice C, 250 K, and Choice D, 25 K, are incorrect conversions and do not align with the correct formula for converting Celsius to Kelvin.
Question 2 of 5
Which conversion is accurate?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: '1 liter = 1.057 quarts.' This conversion is accurate as it reflects the precise relationship between liters and quarts, where 1 liter is slightly more than a quart. Choice A is incorrect because 1 inch is approximately equal to 2.54 cm, not 2.5 cm. Choice B is incorrect as 1 meter is equivalent to approximately 39.37 inches, not exactly. Choice D is also inaccurate as 1 gram is equal to 1000 milligrams, not 100 milligrams.
Question 3 of 5
What is the equivalent of 255.0 pounds in kilograms (1 kg = 2.205 lbs)?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: To convert pounds to kilograms, you need to divide the weight in pounds by 2.205 (1 kg = 2.205 lbs). Therefore, 255.0 pounds divided by 2.205 equals 115.6 kilograms. This results in choice D being the correct answer. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not reflect the accurate conversion calculation from pounds to kilograms.
