Chapter 1 — Measurement
1. Which SI prefix represents one-thousandth of a unit?
A. micro
B. kilo
C. milli
D. mega
Answer: C. milli
Rationale: Milli- represents \(10^{-3}), or \(1/1,000\).
2. The SI prefix for one-millionth is:
A. micro
B. nano
,C. milli
D. centi
Answer: A. micro
Rationale: Micro- represents \(10^{-6}\), or \(1/1,000,000\).
3. Which SI prefix represents one-tenth?
A. centi
B. milli
C. micro
D. deci
Answer: D. deci
Rationale: Deci- represents \(10^{-1}\), meaning one-tenth.
4. What does the SI prefix kilo- represent?
A. \(10^{-3}\)
B. \(10^3\)
C. \(10^6\)
D. \(10^{-6}\)
Answer: B. \(10^3\)
Rationale: Kilo- means 1,000 times the base unit.
5. How many millimeters are in 1 meter?
, A. 100
B. 10
C. 1,000
D. 10,000
Answer: C. 1,000
Rationale: Milli- means \(1/1,000\), so 1 m = 1,000 mm.
6. Which measurement is equal to 0.01 meter?
A. 1 centimeter
B. 10 centimeters
C. 1 millimeter
D. 100 centimeters
Answer: A. 1 centimeter
Rationale: Centi- represents \(10^{-2}\), so 1 cm = 0.01 m.
7. A length of 2.5 meters is equivalent to:
A. 25 cm
B. 250 cm
C. 2,500 cm
D. 0.25 cm
Answer: B. 250 cm
Rationale: \(2.5 \times 100 = 250\) cm.
8. Which quantity is the smallest?
