    • 100x

    • 10x

    • 5x

    Correct Answer
    A. 1000x

    1,500 cg  = _____________150 kg

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The given statement is false. 1,500 cg is not equal to 150 kg. To convert centigrams to kilograms, we need to divide by 10,000. Therefore, 1,500 cg is equal to 0.15 kg, not 150 kg.

    333 cm = 3.33

    • Dm

    • Km

    • M

    • Mm

    Correct Answer
    A. M

    Explanation
    The prefix "centi-" is derived from the Latin word "centum" meaning "hundred." In the metric system, it represents a factor of 1/100 or dividing by 100. Therefore, "centi" means 1/100.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    15 cm = 1.5 mm

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement "15 cm = 1.5 mm" is incorrect. It is not possible for 15 cm to be equal to 1.5 mm because 1 cm is equal to 10 mm. Therefore, 15 cm would be equal to 150 mm, not 1.5 mm. Hence, the correct answer is False.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    The metric system is based upon what number?

    • 5

    • 3

    • 10

    • 25

    Correct Answer
    A. 10
    Explanation
    The metric system is based upon the number 10. This means that it uses a decimal system of measurement, where each unit is a multiple or fraction of 10. This makes conversions between different units of measurement much simpler, as you only need to move the decimal point. For example, there are 100 centimeters in a meter and 1000 meters in a kilometer. This base of 10 allows for easy and consistent calculations in scientific and everyday measurements.

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

    1.5 km = _______ m

    • .015

    • .00015

    • 150

    • 1500

    Correct Answer
    A. 1500
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 1500 because when converting kilometers to meters, you multiply by 1000. Therefore, 1.5 km is equal to 1500 m.

    Rate this question:

  • 14. 

    145 mm = ________m

    • .0145

    • 1.45

    • 145,000

    • 0.145

    Correct Answer
    A. 0.145
    Explanation
    To convert millimeters to meters, we need to divide the given value by 1000 since there are 1000 millimeters in a meter. Therefore, 145 mm is equal to 0.145 meters.

    What is the metric unit for measuring mass or weight?

    • Foot

    • Pound

    • Kilogram

    • Ounce

    Correct Answer
    A. Kilogram
    Explanation
    The metric unit for measuring mass or weight is the kilogram. The kilogram is the base unit of mass in the International System of Units (SI). It is used worldwide for measuring the mass of objects and is defined as the mass of the International Prototype of the Kilogram, a platinum-iridium cylinder kept at the International Bureau of Weights and Measures in France.

    Rate this question:

  • 16. 

    500km = ____________hm

    Correct Answer
    5000, 5,000, 5 thousand, 5 x 1000, 5000m
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 5000, 5,000, 5 thousand, 5 x 1000, 5000m. This is because 1 kilometer (km) is equal to 1000 meters (m), and 1 hectometer (hm) is equal to 100 meters. Therefore, to convert from kilometers to hectometers, we multiply by 10 (since there are 10 hectometers in a kilometer). In this case, 500 km would be equal to 5000 hm.

    Rate this question:

  • 17. 

    ________kL = 3400L

    Correct Answer
    3.4, 3.40, 3.4kL
    Explanation
    The given equation states that 1 kiloliter (kL) is equal to 3400 liters (L). Therefore, 3.4, 3.40, and 3.4kL all represent the same volume, which is 3400 liters. The decimal forms 3.4 and 3.40 simply represent the volume in liters, while 3.4kL represents the volume in kiloliters.

  • 18. 

    The smartest boy was born on 12/12/12. His brain size was estimated to be 200kg, his brain size in grams is

    Correct Answer
    200,000, 200000, 200,000grams, 200000grams, 200000g, 200,000g
    Explanation
    The correct answer is any of the options provided: 200,000, 200000, 200,000grams, 200000grams, 200000g, 200,000g. These options all represent the same value, which is the brain size of the smartest boy in grams. The question states that his brain size was estimated to be 200kg, and since there are 1000 grams in a kilogram, we can convert 200kg to grams by multiplying it by 1000. Therefore, the brain size in grams is 200,000.

    Rate this question:

  • 19. 

    500kL = ____________hL

    Correct Answer
    5000, 5,000, 5 thousand, 5 x 1000, 5000L
    Explanation
    The answer is 5000, 5,000, 5 thousand, 5 x 1000, 5000L because all these expressions represent the same quantity of liquid, which is 5000 kiloliters.

    Rate this question:

  • 20. 

    6250 mL= _____________L

    Correct Answer
    6.25, 6.250, 6.25L
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 6.25, 6.250, 6.25L because 6250 mL is equal to 6.25 L. The decimal point is placed after the first digit, which is 6, and there are no other significant figures after it. Therefore, the correct way to represent 6250 mL in liters is 6.25 L. The additional options of 6.250 and 6.25L are also correct representations, as they both accurately indicate the value of 6250 mL in liters.
