Accepted Answer

93.89

Question 2

The metric system is a decimal system based on _____.
A) the number 10
B) meters in a mile
C) degrees Celsius
D) decimal fractions

Accepted Answer

The metric system is based on the number 10, with units of measurement consistently increasing or decreasing by factors of 10. This makes conversions between units easier and more intuitive than with other systems that use non-metric units.

Question 3

10 meters are called a dekameter, 100 meters a hectometer, and 1000 meters a kilometer.

Accepted Answer

This statement is true.

Question 4

The measurement system that is used in the United States relies on liters, millimeters, kilograms, and so forth.

Accepted Answer

The measurement system used in the United States is the customary or imperial system, which relies on units such as gallons, inches, pounds, and so on. The metric system, which uses liters, millimeters, kilograms, etc., is used in many other countries.

Question 5

When the meter is divided by 10, it produces 10 decimeters; a decimeter divided by 10 produces 10 centimeters; and a centimeter divided by 10 produces 10 millimeters.

Accepted Answer

This is correct. A meter has 10 decimeters, a decimeter has 10 centimeters, and a centimeter has 10 millimeters.

Question 6

In the metric system, temperature is measured in degrees Celsius (°C). On the Celsius scale, the boiling point of water is 100° and the freezing point is 0°.

Accepted Answer

This is correct.

Question 7

Convert the following Fahrenheit temperatures to Celsius. Round off all answers to two places to the right of the decimal point. -6

Accepted Answer

The answer of Convert the following Fahrenheit temperatures to Celsius....

Question 8

Your restaurant calls for cooking hamburgers to 165°F. What is the temperature in degrees Celsius?
A) 165.0°C
B) 239.4°C
C) 329.0°C
D) 73.9°C

Accepted Answer

To convert Fahrenheit to Celsius, subtract 32 from the Fahrenheit temperature, then multiply by 5/9. 
165°F - 32 = 133°F 
133°F × 5/9 = 73.9°C

Question 9

_____ measure lengths; _____ measure volume; _____ measure weight.
A) Liters, grams, meters
B) Grams, liters, meters
C) Meters, liters, grams
D) Meters, grams, liters

Accepted Answer

Meters measure length, liters measure volume, and grams measure weight. Therefore, option C is the correct choice.

Question 10

One gram is about the weight of an ounce of salt. One kilogram is about the weight of a small child.

Accepted Answer

One gram is much lighter than an ounce of salt since an ounce is approximately 28.35 grams. A kilogram, which is 1000 grams, can indeed be about the weight of a small child.

Question 11

Today, over _____ of the world's population uses the metric system.
A) 90 percent
B) 25 percent
C) 50 percent
D) 75 percent

Accepted Answer

The metric system is the preferred system of measurement used in science, industry, and many countries around the world. According to the International Bureau of Weights and Measures, over 90% of the world's population uses the metric system.

Question 12

Some industries, notably science, pharmaceutical, engineering, and automotive, have found it necessary to go metric in order to participate in world trade.

Accepted Answer

It is true that some industries, such as science, pharmaceuticals, engineering, and automotive, have switched to using the metric system in order to participate in global trade. This helps ensure consistency and standardization in measurements across different countries and facilitates communication and collaboration in these industries.

Question 13

Your new job is in a country that gives the temperature in Celsius degrees. What is the Fahrenheit temperature when it is reported to be 22°C?
A) -5.6°F
B) 71.6°F
C) 97.2°F
D) 44.2°F

Accepted Answer

To convert Celsius to Fahrenheit, use the formula F = (1.8 x C) + 32. Plugging in 22 for C, we get:
F = (1.8 x 22) + 32
F = 71.6
Therefore, the Fahrenheit temperature is 71.6°F.

Question 14

The range of temperature from freezing to boiling water on the Celsius scale is _____.
A) 212°F
B) 212°C
C) 100°F
D) 100°C

Accepted Answer

The Celsius scale has freezing and boiling points of 0°C and 100°C, respectively, which gives a range of 100°C.

Question 15

As the United States changes to the metric system, the people who will be affected most are those whose jobs are concerned with weights and measures. This is certainly the case for food service workers. Instead of pints, quarts, and gallons, they will have to adjust to meters.

Accepted Answer

The United States has not officially changed to the metric system, and there are currently no plans to do so. Food service workers in the US still primarily use customary units of measurement such as pints, quarts, and gallons.

Question 16

Accepted Answer

The answer of Convert the following Fahrenheit temperatures to Celsius....

Question 17

A milligram is one-thousand grams (weight), a milliliter is one-thousand liters (volume), and a millimeter is one-thousand meters (length).

Accepted Answer

A milligram is one-thousandth of a gram, a milliliter is one-thousandth of a liter, and a millimeter is one-thousandth of a meter.
