  • 2. 

    The word volume is sometimes used as a synonym for ________________________.

    • Area

    • Perimeter

    • Capacity

    • Mass

    Correct Answer
    A. Capacity
    Explanation
    The word "volume" is often used interchangeably with "capacity." Both terms refer to the amount of space or the maximum amount that a container or object can hold. In this context, "volume" and "capacity" have the same meaning, making "capacity" the correct synonym for "volume."

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    What units are used to measure area?

    • Square units

    • Large units

    • Pretty units

    • Cubic units

    Correct Answer
    A. Square units
    Explanation
    Square units are used to measure area because area is a two-dimensional measurement that represents the amount of space enclosed within a shape. Square units refer to the measurement of the area in terms of the number of squares that can fit within the shape. This is commonly used in various fields such as mathematics, architecture, and engineering to quantify the size of surfaces or regions. Large units, pretty units, and cubic units do not specifically measure area and are not appropriate for this purpose.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    What units are used to measure volume?

    • Square units

    • Large units

    • Pretty units

    • Cubic units

    Correct Answer
    A. Cubic units
    Explanation
    Cubic units are used to measure volume. Volume is a three-dimensional measurement that represents the amount of space occupied by an object or substance. Cubic units are used to measure this volume because they involve all three dimensions, typically expressed as length x width x height. This unit of measurement is commonly used in mathematics, physics, engineering, and other fields where volume calculations are necessary.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    Which list lists the units of weight from least to greatest?

    • Ounce, pound, ton

    • Millimeter, centimeter, meter, kilometer

    • Ton, ounce, pound

    • Milligram, gram, kilogram

    Correct Answer
    A. Ounce, pound, ton
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "ounce, pound, ton." This list arranges the units of weight in ascending order, starting with the smallest unit (ounce) and progressing to the largest unit (ton).

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    Which list lists the units of customary capacity from least to greatest?

    • Milliliter, liter

    • Millimeter, centimeter, meter, kilometer

    • Ounce, cup, pint, quart of a gallon, gallon

    • Gallon, quart of a gallon, pint, cup, ounce

    Correct Answer
    A. Ounce, cup, pint, quart of a gallon, gallon
    Explanation
    The correct answer lists the units of customary capacity from least to greatest. The units listed are ounce, cup, pint, quart of a gallon, and gallon. This order is correct because ounce is the smallest unit of capacity, followed by cup, pint, quart of a gallon, and gallon, which is the largest unit of capacity.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    Which list lists the units of mass from least to greatest?

    • Kilogram, milligram, gram

    • Millimeter, centimeter, meter, kilometer

    • Gram, milligram, kilogram

    • Milligram, gram, kilogram

    Correct Answer
    A. Milligram, gram, kilogram
    Explanation
    The correct answer is milligram, gram, kilogram. This is because the milligram is the smallest unit of mass, followed by the gram, and then the kilogram, which is the largest unit of mass.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    Which list lists the units of customary length from least to greatest?

    • Inch, foot, yard, mile

    • Millimeter, centimeter, meter, kilometer

    • Ounce, pound, ton

    • Milligram, gram, kilogram

    Correct Answer
    A. Inch, foot, yard, mile
    Explanation
    This list lists the units of customary length from least to greatest because the inch is the smallest unit, followed by the foot, then the yard, and finally the mile, which is the largest unit.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    Which list lists the units of metric capacity from least to greatest?

    • Milliliter, liter

    • Millimeter, centimeter, meter, kilometer

    • Liter, milliliter

    • Milligram, gram, kilogram

    Correct Answer
    A. Milliliter, liter
    Explanation
    The units of metric capacity are listed from least to greatest in the given answer. The milliliter is the smallest unit of capacity, followed by the liter which is a larger unit. Therefore, the correct order is milliliter, liter.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    Which list lists the units of metric length from least to greatest?

    • Inch, foot, yard, mile

    • Millimeter, centimeter, meter, kilometer

    • Ton, ounce, pound

    • Milligram, gram, kilogram

    Correct Answer
    A. Millimeter, centimeter, meter, kilometer
    Explanation
    The correct answer is millimeter, centimeter, meter, kilometer. This is because the metric system is based on powers of 10, with each unit being 10 times larger than the previous one. The millimeter is the smallest unit of length, followed by the centimeter, meter, and kilometer, which is the largest unit.
