Metric Conversions for TEAS 7

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Certainly! To express 10^6 m in simpler terms, we need to convert meters to kilometers. 1 kilometer is equal to 1000 meters. Therefore, 10^6 m = 1,000,000 m = 1 km. Option A is correct because 1 kilometer is the equivalent of 10^6 meters. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they represent larger units of measurement than meters. Megameter is 1,000,000 meters, gigameter is 1,000,000,000 meters, and terameter is 1,000,000,000,000 meters, making them larger than 10^6 meters.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To convert 0.875 to a fraction, note that it is equivalent to 875/1000. Simplifying by dividing both numerator and denominator by 125 gives 7/8. This is the correct answer because it is the simplest form of the fraction. Choice B (8/7) is incorrect as it represents a fraction greater than 1. Choice C (3/4) is incorrect as it is not equivalent to 0.875. Choice D (9/10) is incorrect as it does not match the decimal value of 0.875.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To convert liters to milliliters, you need to know that 1 liter is equal to 1000 milliliters. So, to find how many milliliters are in 0.5 liters, you multiply 0.5 by 1000, which equals 500 milliliters. Therefore, the correct answer is B: 500 mL. Choice A (50 mL) is incorrect because it is 10 times less than the correct answer. Choice C (5,000 mL) is incorrect because it is 10 times more than the correct answer. Choice D (5 mL) is incorrect because it is 100 times less than the correct answer.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To convert 0.1 liters to milliliters, you need to multiply by 1000 since there are 1000 milliliters in 1 liter. So, 0.1 * 1000 = 100 ml, which is the correct answer (B). Choice A (10 ml) is incorrect as it represents 0.01 liters, choice C (1000 ml) is incorrect as it represents 1 liter, and choice D (1 ml) is incorrect as it is too small for 0.1 liters.
