Sample practice questions

Easy

1. How many metres are there in 5.2 kilometres?

Answer: 5200 — Since 1 km = 1,000 m, 5.2 km = 5.2 x 1,000 = 5,200 m.
Easy

2. How many litres are there in 2,500 millilitres?

Answer: 2.5 — Since 1 L = 1,000 mL, 2,500 mL = 2,500 / 1,000 = 2.5 L.
Medium

3. Using the formula °F = (°C x 9/5) + 32, convert 36°C to degrees Fahrenheit.

Answer: 96.8 — °F = (36 x 9/5) + 32 = (36 x 1.8) + 32 = 64.8 + 32 = 96.8°F.
