Jason is making sand art. He wants to fill a rectangular patch 6 inches by 7 inches with blue sand, and a square path 5 inches by 5 inches with red sand. If it takes 3 grams of sand to fill one square inch, how many grams of sand does Jason need?
null

Think about the magnetic force between the magnets in each pair. Which of the following statements is true?
[ "The magnetic force is stronger in Pair 1.", "The strength of the magnetic force is the same in both pairs.", "The magnetic force is stronger in Pair 2." ]
C
Distance affects the strength of the magnetic force. When magnets are closer together, the magnetic force between them is stronger. The magnets in Pair 2 are closer together than the magnets in Pair 1. So, the magnetic force is stronger in Pair 2 than in Pair 1.

Kristy, a sales representative earns a basic salary of $7.50 per hour plus a 16% commission on everything she sells. This month, she worked for 160 hours and sold $25000 worth of items. Her monthly budget for food, clothing, rent, transportation, bills and savings is 95% of her total monthly earnings and the rest will be put towards insurance. How much did she allocate to insurance?
null
260
Kristy earns a basic salary of $7.50 x 160 = $<<7.5*160=1200>>1200. Her total commission is $25000 x 16/100 = $<<25000*16/100=4000>>4000. Thus, her total earning is $1200 + $4000 = $<<1200+4000=5200>>5200. Her monthly budget aside from the insurance is $5200 x 95/100 = $<<5200*95/100=4940>>4940. Therefore, she allocated $5200 - $4940 = $<<5200-4940=260>>260 on insurance. #### 260

Complete the statement. Water is ().
[ "an elementary substance", "a compound" ]
B
Use the model to determine whether water is an elementary substance or a compound. Step 1: Interpret the model. . Use the legend to determine the chemical element represented by each color. The colors and atomic symbols from the legend are shown in the table below. The table also includes the names of the chemical elements represented in the model. You can see from the model that a molecule of water is composed of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom bonded together. Step 2: Determine whether the substance is an elementary substance or a compound. You know from Step 1 that water is composed of two chemical elements: hydrogen and oxygen. Since water is composed of multiple chemical elements bonded together, water is a compound.

Both white cars were rented for 2 * 2 = $<<2*2=4>>4 for every minute. All three red cars were rented for 3 * 3 = $<<3*3=9>>9 for every minute.

What do these two changes have in common? making jam a slice of banana turning brown
[ "Both are caused by heating.", "Both are caused by cooling.", "Both are only physical changes.", "Both are chemical changes." ]
D
Step 1: Think about each change. Making jam is a chemical change. It involves mixing fruit, sugar, and a substance called pectin. When these ingredients are mixed and cooked, the chemical bonds in their molecules are broken. The atoms then link together to form different molecules that make up the jam. A slice of banana turning brown is a chemical change. The part of the banana in contact with the air reacts with oxygen and turns into a different type of matter. Step 2: Look at each answer choice. Both are only physical changes. Both changes are chemical changes. They are not physical changes. Both are chemical changes. Both changes are chemical changes. The type of matter before and after each change is different. Both are caused by heating. The reaction that makes jam is caused by heating. But a slice of banana turning brown is not.

Which of the following organisms is the omnivore in this food web?
[ "parasitic jaeger", "bear sedge", "grizzly bear" ]
C
Omnivores are consumers that eat both producers and other consumers. So, an omnivore has arrows pointing to it from at least one producer and at least one consumer. The grizzly bear has an arrow pointing to it from the bilberry, which is a producer. The grizzly bear also has an arrow pointing to it from the barren-ground caribou, which is a consumer. The grizzly bear eats a producer and a consumer, so it is an omnivore. The bear sedge does not have any arrows pointing to it. So, the bear sedge is not an omnivore. The parasitic jaeger has only one arrow pointing to it. This arrow starts from the brown lemming, which is a consumer. So, the parasitic jaeger is a consumer but not an omnivore. The Arctic fox has an arrow pointing to it from the bilberry, which is a producer. The Arctic fox also has an arrow pointing to it from the brown lemming, which is a consumer. The Arctic fox eats a producer and a consumer, so it is an omnivore.

An Amazon tree boa's scientific name is Corallus hortulanus. Lacerta agilis does not have the same scientific name as an Amazon tree boa. So, Corallus hortulanus and Lacerta agilis are not in the same species. Python bivittatus does not have the same scientific name as an Amazon tree boa. So, Corallus hortulanus and Python bivittatus are not in the same species. Corallus hortulanus has the same scientific name as an Amazon tree boa. So, these organisms are in the same species.

Susan wants to throw a party for her mom. She is planning on having 30 guests. For dinner she is making a recipe that makes 2 servings each. Each batch of the recipe calls for 4 potatoes and 1 teaspoon of salt. A potato costs $.10 and a container of salt costs $2 at the supermarket. If each container of salt has 5 teaspoons, how much money will Susan spend on food?
null
12
Susan needs to make 30/2=<<30/2=15>>15 batches of the recipe. Therefore, she will need 15*4=<<15*4=60>>60 potatoes. She will also need 1*15=<<1*15=15>>15 teaspoons of salt. Thus she will have to buy 15/5 =<<15/5=3>>3 containers of salt. Therefore, she will spend 60*$.1=$6 on potatoes and 3*$2=$6 on salt. Thus, she will spend $6+$6=$<<6+6=12>>12 on food. #### 12

First find how fast each runs. Apple = 24 miles / 3 miles per hour = <<24/3=8>>8 hours Mac = 24 miles / 4 miles per hour = <<24/4=6>>6 hours. Mac runs 8 hours - 6 hours = <<8-6=2>>2 hours faster. 1 hour = 60 minutes, so, Mac runs faster by 2 hours * 60 minutes = <<2*60=120>>120 minutes. #### 120

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 the same in both pairs.", "The magnitude of the magnetic force is smaller in Pair 2.", "The magnitude of the magnetic force is smaller in Pair 1." ]
C
Magnet sizes affect the magnitude of the magnetic force. Imagine magnets that are the same shape and made of the same material. The smaller the magnets, the smaller the magnitude of the magnetic force between them. Magnet A is the same size in both pairs. But Magnet B is smaller in Pair 1 than in Pair 2. So, the magnitude of the magnetic force is smaller in Pair 1 than in Pair 2.
