Rationale: To convert 0.75 to a fraction, we write it as 75/100 and simplify to 3/4 by dividing both numerator and denominator by the greatest common divisor, which is 25. Choice A (3/4) is correct as it represents 0.75 in simplest form. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not equal 0.75 when converted to a fraction. Choice B (7/10) simplifies to 0.7, choice C (15/20) simplifies to 0.75 but is not in simplest form, and choice D (1/2) simplifies to 0.5.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To convert grams to milligrams, you need to multiply by 1000 since there are 1000 milligrams in 1 gram. So, 0.04 grams x 1000 = 40 mg. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B is incorrect because it's 10 times smaller than the correct answer. Choice C is incorrect because it's 100 times larger than the correct answer. Choice D is incorrect because it's 100 times smaller than the correct answer.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: kilogram. In the metric system, 'kg' stands for kilogram, which is the unit of mass. The prefix 'kilo-' denotes 1000, so a kilogram is equal to 1000 grams. This is the standard unit used to measure mass in the metric system. B: keg is incorrect as it is a container for storing liquids, not a unit of measurement. C: kroner is the currency used in Norway and Denmark, not a unit of measurement in the metric system. D: kraken is a mythical sea monster and not related to any unit of measurement. Therefore, the correct choice is A as it corresponds to the standard unit for mass in the metric system.
