Which of the following fossils is older? Select the more likely answer.
[ "mammal tooth", "ginkgo leaf" ]
A
Look again at the fossils in the rock sequence diagram.

Select the elementary substance.
[ "bromomethane (CH3Br)", "water (H2O)", "diamond (C)" ]
C
Look at the chemical formula for each substance, and count the number of symbols in the formula. Then, decide if the substance is an elementary substance. The chemical formula for diamond contains one symbol: C for carbon. So, diamond is made of one chemical element. Substances that are made of one chemical element are elementary substances. So, diamond is an elementary substance. The chemical formula for bromomethane contains three symbols: C for carbon, H for hydrogen, and Br for bromine. So, bromomethane is made of three chemical elements bonded together. Substances that are made of two or more chemical elements bonded together are compounds. So, bromomethane is a compound, not an elementary substance. The chemical formula for water contains two symbols: H for hydrogen and O for oxygen. So, water is made of two chemical elements bonded together. Substances that are made of two or more chemical elements bonded together are compounds. So, water is a compound, not an elementary substance.

Which solution has a higher concentration of purple particles?
[ "Solution B", "Solution A", "neither; their concentrations are the same" ]
B
In Solution A and Solution B, the purple particles represent the solute. To figure out which solution has a higher concentration of purple particles, look at both the number of purple particles and the volume of the solvent in each container. Use the concentration formula to find the number of purple particles per milliliter. Solution A has more purple particles per milliliter. So, Solution A has a higher concentration of purple particles.

Chris wants to hold his breath underwater for 90 straight seconds so he starts training each day. On the first day, he holds it for 10 seconds. On the second day, he holds it for 20 seconds. On the third day, he holds it for 30 seconds. After realizing that he can hold it for ten extra seconds each day, he realizes he can calculate how many days it is until he reaches 90 if he keeps up the same pace. So how many days until he can hold his breath for 90 seconds?

null
1,152
To compare volumes, the measurements must be in the same units. There are 12 inches in 1 ft, so Sara’s birdhouse is 1 ft x 12 inches/ft = 12 inches wide, 2 ft x 12 inches/ft = 24 inches tall, and 2 ft x 12 inches/ft = 24 inches deep. The volume of Sara’s birdhouse is 12 inches x 24 inches x 24 inches = <<12*24*24=6912>>6,912 cubic inches The volume of Jake’s birdhouse is 16 inches x 20 inches x 18 inches = <<16*20*18=5760>>5,760 cubic inches. The difference between the two birdhouses is 6,912 cubic inches – 5,760 cubic inches = <<6912-5760=1152>>1,152 cubic inches. #### 1,152

Mary and her two friends agreed to evenly pay for the cost of 2 pounds of chicken.

Three pounds of beef cost $4 x 3 = $<<4*3=12>>12. Mary's mother paid $12 + $1 = $<<12+1=13>>13 for the beef and oil. Hence, the 2-pound chicken cost $16 - $13 = $<<16-13=3>>3. There are 1 (Mary) + 2 friends = <<1+2=3>>3 people who will split the $3 cost. Therefore, each of them will pay $3/3 = $<<3/3=1>>1. #### 1

Compare each animal's traits to the group's traits. Select the animal with traits similar to the group's traits. A great crested newt has the following traits: It spends part of its life in water and part on land. It has moist skin. It makes eggs with no shells. A great crested newt does not have all of the traits of a bird. A great crested newt is an amphibian. A great blue heron has the following traits: It has feathers. It has wings. It has a beak. It makes eggs with shells. A great blue heron has the traits of a bird. A great blue heron is a bird.

Assume all other forces on Rita are balanced. Which statement describes the forces on Rita?
[ "The forces are balanced, so there is no net force on Rita.", "The forces are unbalanced, so there is a net force on Rita." ]
B
To determine if there is a net force on Rita, look at the forces: Earth's gravity is pulling Rita down with a force of 600 N. The seat of the cart is pushing Rita up with a force of 1,200 N. The forces are in opposite directions, and the forces have different magnitudes: 600 N and 1,200 N. This means that the forces are unbalanced, so there is a net force on Rita.

Belle eats 4 dog biscuits and 2 rawhide bones every evening. If each rawhide bone is $1, and each dog biscuit is $0.25, then how much does it cost, in dollars, to feed Belle these treats for a week?
null

A week's worth of rawhide bones cost 1*2*7=<<1*2*7=14>>14 dollars. A week's worth of dog biscuits cost 0.25*4*7=<<0.25*4*7=7>>7 dollars, Thus, in total, it cost 14+7=<<14+7=21>>21 dollars #### 21

Compare the average kinetic energies of the particles in each sample. Which sample has the higher temperature?
[ "sample A", "neither; the samples have the same temperature", "sample B" ]
C
The particles in both samples have the same average speed, but each particle in sample B has more mass than each particle in sample A. So, the particles in sample B have a higher average kinetic energy than the particles in sample A. Because the particles in sample B have the higher average kinetic energy, sample B must have the higher temperature.

Natalia is riding a bicycle for the cycling competition. On Monday she rode 40 kilometers and on Tuesday 50 kilometers. On Wednesday she rode 50% fewer kilometers than the day before. On Thursday she rode as many as the sum of the kilometers from Monday and Wednesday. How many kilometers did Natalie ride in total?
null

On Wednesday she covered half of the distance from Tuesday, so 50 / 2 = <<50/2=25>>25 kilometers. On Thursday she rode 40 + 25 = <<40+25=65>>65 kilometers. In total, Natalia rode 40 + 50 + 25 + 65 = <<40+50+25+65=180>>180 kilometers. #### 180

What type of rock is diorite?
[ "igneous", "sedimentary" ]
A
Diorite is an igneous rock. Like other igneous rocks, it forms when melted rock cools and hardens. Melted rock is a hot, thick liquid. As melted rock cools, solid mineral grains begin to form. When the melted rock becomes solid, it forms igneous rock. The word igneous comes from the Latin word ignis, which means fire.

The kids in Ms. Swanson's class have an average of 5 zits each. The kids in Mr. Jones' class have an average of six zits each. If there are 25 kids in Ms. Swanson's class and 32 in Mr. Jones' class, how many more zits are there in Mr. Jones' class than in Ms. Swanson's?
null

First find the total number of zits in Mr. Jones' class: 6 zits/kid * 32 kids = <<6*32=192>>192 zits Then find the total number of zits in Ms. Swanson's class: 5 zits/kid * 25 kids = <<5*25=125>>125 zits Then subtract the number of zits in Ms. Swanson's class from the number in Mr. Jones' class to find the difference: 192 zits - 125 zits = <<192-125=67>>67 zits #### 67

An airplane took a trip along the Eastern Coast of the USA. During the trip, the plane hovered in Mountain time for 3 hours, Central time for 4 hrs, and Eastern time for 2 hrs. The next day it took 2 more hours to hover in each of the places it passed through the previous day. Calculate the total time it took the plane to hover over Mountain time, Central time, and Eastern time in the two days.

The total time it took to hover over the Mountain and the central time is 3+4 = <<3+4=7>>7 hours. If it hovered further to the Eastern time zone, it took a total of 7+2 = <<7+2=9>>9 hours to cover the whole trip. The next day, it took 2 more hours to cover each of the places it passed through the previous day, taking a total of 2*3 = <<2*3=6>>6 hours. The total time it took on the second day to cover the distance it covered the previous day is 9+6 = <<9+6=15>>15 hours.

B
A European hare's scientific name is Lepus europaeus. The first word of its scientific name is Lepus. Lepus americanus is in the genus Lepus. The first word of its scientific name is Lepus. So, Lepus americanus and Lepus europaeus are in the same genus. Erinaceus europaeus and Lepus europaeus are not in the same genus. These organisms are not in the same genus, but part of their scientific names is the same. Erinaceus europaeus and Lepus europaeus have the same species name within their genus, europaeus. But the first words of their scientific names are different. Erinaceus europaeus is in the genus Erinaceus, and Lepus europaeus is in the genus Lepus. Neofelis nebulosa is in the genus Neofelis. The first word of its scientific name is Neofelis. So, Neofelis nebulosa and Lepus europaeus are not in the same genus.
