Question 1 of 5

What is the term for the amount of space an object occupies?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct term for the amount of space an object occupies is 'volume.' Volume refers to the three-dimensional space that an object occupies and is measured in cubic units like cubic meters. 'Mass' (Choice A) refers to the amount of matter in an object, 'density' (Choice C) is the mass per unit volume of a substance, and 'area' (Choice D) is the measurement of the extent of a surface.

Question 2 of 5

How many milliliters are in a tablespoon?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 15 ml. One tablespoon is equivalent to 15 milliliters. The conversion factor for tablespoons to milliliters is 1 tablespoon = 15 milliliters. Choice A (10 ml) is incorrect because it is not the standard conversion for a tablespoon. Choice C (5 ml) is incorrect as it is too low for a tablespoon. Choice D (20 ml) is incorrect as it is too high for a tablespoon. Therefore, the correct conversion is 15 milliliters for one tablespoon.

Question 3 of 5

Convert 0.2 liters to milliliters. What is the equivalent volume?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To convert 0.2 liters to milliliters, you need to multiply by 1,000 because there are 1,000 milliliters in a liter. So, 0.2 * 1,000 = 200 milliliters. Therefore, the correct answer is 200 ml. Choice A (20 ml) is incorrect because it represents 0.02 liters, not 0.2 liters. Choice C (2 ml) is incorrect as it represents 0.002 liters. Choice D (2000 ml) is incorrect as it represents 2 liters, not 0.2 liters.

Question 5 of 5

What is 0.004 as a ratio?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To convert 0.004 to a ratio, first express it as a fraction by writing it as 4/1000. Simplifying this fraction gives 1/250. Therefore, 0.004 as a ratio is 1:250. Choice A (5:10) simplifies to 1:2, not equivalent to 0.004. Choice C (7:28) does not simplify to a value close to 0.004. Choice D (4:00) is not a valid ratio representation of 0.004.
