Elijah is painting his living room and decides to buy masking tape to make his painting neater. 2 of his walls are 4 meters wide and the other 2 walls are 6 meters wide. Elijah needs enough masking tape to cover the entire width of each wall and can order the exact amount of masking tape he needs. How many meters of masking tape does Elijah need to order?
null

For 2 of the walls, Elijah will need 2 walls * 6 meters each = <<2*6=12>>12 meters of masking tape. For the other 2 walls, he will need 2 walls * 4 meters each = <<2*4=8>>8 meters of masking tape. He will therefore need a total of 12 + 8 = <<12+8=20>>20 meters of masking tape. #### 20

Jerry owes a loan shark $200. The loan shark charges Jerry 10% interest compounded monthly. (This means that every month the loan shark adds Jerry's interest amount to his loan, and the next month Jerry has to pay 10% on the new total). If Jerry doesn't make any payments, how much (in dollars) does the loan shark charge in interest the second month?
null
22
First calculate how much the loan shark charges in interest the first month by multiplying the loan amount by the interest rate: $200 * 10% = $<<200*10*.01=20>>20 Now add the interest amount to the original amount of the loan to find Jerry's new total: $200 + $20 = $<<200+20=220>>220 Now multiply the new total by 10% to find out how much Jerry owes the loan shark in interest the second month: $220 * 10% = $<<220*10*.01=22>>22 #### 22

A rancher owns a mixture of 8 sheep and 5 cattle that graze on his land. In a typical year, the rancher will allow his animals to feed off his pastures for as long as possible before they run out of grass. After the pastures run out of grass, he must buy feed corn for $10 per bag. Each cow eats 2 acres of grass per month, and each sheep eats 1 acre of grass per month. Additionally, a bag of feed corn can feed each cow for 1 month and each sheep for 2 months. If the rancher's pasture contains 144 acres of grass, how much will the rancher need to spend on feed corn to feed his animals each year?
null
360
First, the 144 acres of grass will be eaten according to the equation 5*2*T + 8*1*T = 144. Solving this equation for T, we find 18*T = 144, or T = 8 months of food are covered by the animals grazing on the rancher's pasture. This means the farmer must buy feed corn for the remaining 12 - 8 = <<12-8=4>>4 months. Next, the rancher's 8 sheep will require 4/2 = 2 bags of feed corn each, or 8*2 = <<8*2=16>>16 bags of feed corn in total for the 4 month period. The rancher's 5 cows will require 4/1 = 4 bags of feed corn each, or 5*4 = <<5*4=20>>20 bags of feed corn in total for the month. Therefore, the rancher needs 16+20 = <<16+20=36>>36 bags of feed corn for all of his animals. So, the rancher will need to spend 36*10 = $<<36*10=360>>360 per year on feed corn. #### 360

Gail has two fish tanks. The first tank is twice the size of the second tank. There are 48 gallons of water in the first tank. She follows the rule of one gallon of water per inch of fish. If she keeps two-inch fish in the second tank and three-inch fish in the first tank, how many more fish would Gail have in the first tank than the second tank if one of the first tank fish eats another?
null

The second tank is 48 / 2 = <<48/2=24>>24 gallons. Following her rule, Gail keeps 24 / 2 = <<24/2=12>>12 two-inch fish in the second tank. She keeps 48 / 3 = <<48/3=16>>16 fish in the first tank. If one fish in the first tank ate another, she would have 16 - 1 = <<16-1=15>>15 fish in the first tank. Thus, Gail would have 15 - 12 = <<15-12=3>>3 more fish in the first tank. #### 3

Think about the magnetic force between the magnets in each pair. Which of the following statements is true?
[ "The magnitude of the magnetic force is greater in Pair 1.", "The magnitude of the magnetic force is the same in both pairs.", "The magnitude of the magnetic force is greater in Pair 2." ]
B
The magnets in Pair 2 attract. The magnets in Pair 1 repel. But whether the magnets attract or repel affects only the direction of the magnetic force. It does not affect the magnitude of the magnetic force. Both magnet sizes and distance affect the magnitude of the magnetic force. The sizes of the magnets in Pair 1 are the same as in Pair 2. The distance between the magnets is also the same. So, the magnitude of the magnetic force is the same in both pairs.
