A Morelet's tree frog's scientific name is Agalychnis moreletii. The first word of its scientific name is Agalychnis. Crocodylus moreletii and Agalychnis moreletii are not in the same genus. These organisms are not in the same genus, but part of their scientific names is the same. Crocodylus moreletii and Agalychnis moreletii have the same species name within their genus, moreletii. But the first words of their scientific names are different. Crocodylus moreletii is in the genus Crocodylus, and Agalychnis moreletii is in the genus Agalychnis. Agalychnis spurrelli is in the genus Agalychnis. The first word of its scientific name is Agalychnis. So, Agalychnis spurrelli and Agalychnis moreletii are in the same genus. Chroicocephalus novaehollandiae is in the genus Chroicocephalus. The first word of its scientific name is Chroicocephalus.

Erica lives near a lake where most locals sell fish as their main source of income, earning $20 per kg of fish. She goes out fishing today and catches twice as many fish as she caught in total in the past four months.

If Ken's house is twice as far from Dawn's house as Mary's house along a certain road, and Ken's house is 4 miles away from Dawn's house along this same road, how much distance (in miles) will Ken cover if he goes from his house to Dawn's house, then Mary's, then back to Dawn's before going back to his own house?
null
12
Ken's house is twice as far from Dawn's house as Mary's, so the distance between Ken's and Mary's is half that between Ken's and Dawn's (4 miles) which means the former is (1/2)*4 miles = <<4*1/2=2>>2 miles If Ken goes from his house to Dawn's, he has covered 4 miles He goes from there to Mary's (2 miles, same as Ken's to Mary's) for a total of 4+2 = <<4+2=6>>6 miles. He goes back to Dawn's (another 2 miles) for a total of 6+2 = <<6+2=8>>8 miles Then he goes to his own house (4 miles) for a final total of 8+4 = <<8+4=12>>12 miles #### 12

Which bird's beak is also adapted to filter through mud?
[ "mute swan", "tawny owl" ]
A
Look at the picture of the Canada goose. The Canada goose has a wide, flat beak. Its beak is adapted to filter through mud. The Canada goose gathers muddy water in its beak. Then, it pushes the water out through gaps along the sides of the beak. Bits of food, such as plant roots, are left behind inside the goose's beak. Now look at each bird. Figure out which bird has a similar adaptation. The mute swan has a wide, flat beak. Its beak is adapted to filter through mud. The tawny owl has a short hooked beak. Its beak is not adapted to filter through mud. The tawny owl uses its beak to tear through meat.
