What type of rock is obsidian?
[ "sedimentary", "igneous", "metamorphic" ]
B
Obsidian is an igneous rock. Like other igneous rocks, it forms when melted rock cools and hardens. Melted rock at the earth's surface is called lava. Obsidian forms when lava cools very quickly. The cooling is so quick that the minerals do not have time to form grains. This is why obsidian looks glassy.

Trish likes to go for walks every day. One day, she goes on a 1-mile walk. Every subsequent day, she doubles the distance she walked the previous day. On what day does she walk more than 10 times further than she did on the first day?
null
5
Trish walks 1 mile on the first day, and since she walks double the previous day's amount each day that means she walks 1*2=<<1*2=2>>2 miles the second day. On the following day, she walks double the distance of the previous day's total of 2 miles, meaning she walks 2*2=<<2*2=4>>4 miles that day. On the following day, she walks double the distance of the previous day's total of 4 miles, meaning she walks 4*2=<<4*2=8>>8 miles that day. On the following day, she walks double the distance of the previous day's total of 8 miles, meaning she walks 8*2=<<8*2=16>>16 miles that day. As we're looking for the first day that her distance exceeds 10 times her original total, that means we're seeking a mile total of greater than or equal to 10*1= <<10*1=10>>10 miles, Since she accomplished this on the 5th day of walking, the answer is <<5=5>>5. #### 5

Based on this information, what is Beau's phenotype for the cheek color trait?
[ "bright orange cheeks", "pale orange cheeks" ]
A
You need to determine Beau's phenotype for the cheek color trait. First, consider the alleles in Beau's genotype for the cheek color gene. Then, decide whether these alleles are dominant or recessive. The allele for bright orange cheeks (R) is dominant over the allele for pale orange cheeks (r). This means R is a dominant allele, and r is a recessive allele. Beau's genotype of Rr has one dominant allele and one recessive allele. An organism with at least one dominant allele for a gene will have the dominant allele's version of the trait. So, Beau's phenotype for the cheek color trait must be bright orange cheeks.

Javier is an Olympic javelin thrower. In the last Olympics, he threw the javelin three times. The first throw, he threw the javelin twice as far as he threw the javelin on his second throw, but only half as far as he threw it the third throw. If the sum of all three throws was 1050 meters, then how far, in meters, did he throw the javelin on his first throw?
null
300
Let x be the distance he threw the javelin on the first throw. Thus, the sum of his three throws is x+0.5x+2x=1050 meters. Thus, 3.5x=1050. And we find the distance he threw the javelin on the first throw is x=<<300=300>>300 meters. #### 300

Complete the statement. Phosphorus trichloride is ().
[ "a compound", "an elementary substance" ]
A
You can tell whether phosphorus trichloride is an elementary substance or a compound by counting the number of atomic symbols in its chemical formula. An atomic symbol consists of either one capital letter or a capital letter followed by one or two lowercase letters. The chemical formula for phosphorus trichloride, PCl3, contains two atomic symbols: P for phosphorus and Cl for chlorine. So, the formula tells you that phosphorus trichloride is composed of two chemical elements bonded together. Since phosphorus trichloride is composed of multiple chemical elements bonded together, phosphorus trichloride is a compound.

What do these two changes have in common? melting glass dry ice sublimating and becoming a gas
[ "Both are chemical changes.", "Both are caused by cooling.", "Both are caused by heating." ]
C
Step 1: Think about each change. Melting glass is a change of state. So, it is a physical change. The glass changes from solid to liquid. But a different type of matter is not formed. Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide. When dry ice gets warm, it changes state and becomes carbon dioxide gas. This change of state, from solid to gas, is called sublimation. Dry ice becoming a gas is a physical change. A change of state does not form a different type of matter. Step 2: Look at each answer choice. Both are only physical changes. Both changes are physical changes. No new matter is created. Both are chemical changes. Both changes are physical changes. They are not chemical changes. Both are caused by heating. Both changes are caused by heating. Both are caused by cooling. Neither change is caused by cooling.

I would currently be 4*4=<<4*4=16>>16 years old, since I'm 4 times older than Billy's age of 4. Therefore, in order to find my age at Billy's birth we'd simply subtract Billy's age of 4 from my age, meaning I was 16-4= <<16-4=12>>12 years old #### 12

Is the following statement about our solar system true or false? The volume of Uranus is less than one-tenth of the volume of Saturn.
[ "false", "true" ]
B
To determine if this statement is true, calculate the value of one-tenth the volume of Saturn. Then compare the result to the volume of Uranus. The volume of Uranus is 68,300 billion km^3, which is less than 82,713 billion km^3. So, the volume of Uranus is less than one-tenth the volume of Saturn.

Carla's order at Mcdonald's costs $7.50, but she has a coupon for $2.50. If she gets an additional 20% discount for being a senior citizen, how much does she pay for her order in dollars total?
null

First subtract the coupon amount from the price of the food: $7.50 - $2.50 = $<<7.5-2.5=5.00>>5.00 Then subtract 20% from 100% to find out what percentage of the reduced price Carla pays: 100% - 20% = 80% Now multiply the price after the coupon by the percentage Carla pays to find the final price: $5.00 * .8 = $<<5*.8=4.00>>4.00 #### 4
