A rectangular flowerbed in the city park is 4 meters wide. Its length is 1 meter less than twice its width. The government wants to fence the flowerbed. How many meters of fence are needed?
null
22
Twice the width is 4 x 2 = <<4*2=8>>8 meters. The length of the rectangular flowerbed is 8 - 1= <<8-1=7>>7 meters. Since the rectangular flower bed has 2 equal lengths, then it needs 7 x 2 = <<7*2=14>>14 meters of fence. The rectangular bed has also 2 equal widths, so it needs 4 x 2 = <<8=8>>8 meters of fence. Therefore, the rectangular flower bed needs a total of 14 + 8 = <<14+8=22>>22 meters of fence. #### 22

Mrs. Lim milks her cows twice a day. Yesterday morning, she got 68 gallons of milk and in the evening, she got 82 gallons. This morning, she got 18 gallons fewer than she had yesterday morning. After selling some gallons of milk in the afternoon, Mrs. Lim has only 24 gallons left. How much was her revenue for the milk if each gallon costs $3.50?
null
616
Mrs. Lim got 68 gallons - 18 gallons = <<68-18=50>>50 gallons this morning. So she was able to get a total of 68 gallons + 82 gallons + 50 gallons = <<68+82+50=200>>200 gallons. She was able to sell 200 gallons - 24 gallons = <<200-24=176>>176 gallons. Thus, her total revenue for the milk is $3.50/gallon x 176 gallons = $<<3.50*176=616>>616. #### 616

Carson is covering the high school football field with grass seed. Each square meter needs three times as much seed as fertilizer. If Carson uses 60 gallons of seed and fertilizer combined, how many gallons of seed does he use?
null

Let s be the number of gallons of seed Carson uses and f be the number of gallons of fertilizer. We know that s = 3f and s + f = 60. Substituting the first equation into the second equation produces 3f + f = 60 Combining like terms, we get 4f = 60 Dividing both sides by 4, we get f = 15 Substituting that value into the equation s = 3f, we get s = 3 * 15 = <<3*15=45>>45 #### 45

Bob grew corn in his garden this year and ended up with 50 bushels. This is way too much for him to eat, so he gave some of it away to his friends. His friend Terry took 8 bushels, while Jerry only took 3. He gave 12 bushels to his friend Linda, who runs a food pantry. His neighbor Stacy doesn't eat much corn, but she still accepted 21 ears of corn from him. If each bushel contained 14 ears of corn, how many ears of corn does Bob have left?
null

Stacy took 21 ears of corn, there are 14 ears to a bushel, so she took 21 ears / 14 ears/bushel = <<21/14=1.5>>1.5 bushels of corn. In all, Bob gave away 8 bushels + 3 bushels + 12 bushels + 1.5 bushels = <<8+3+12+1.5=24.5>>24.5 bushels of corn. This leaves him with 50 bushels - 24.5 bushels = <<50-24.5=25.5>>25.5 bushels of corn. At 14 ears of corn per bushel, Bob has 25.5 bushels * 14 ears per bushel = <<25.5*14=357>>357 ears of corn. #### 357

What do these two changes have in common? chicken cooking in an oven a penny tarnishing
[ "Both are caused by heating.", "Both are chemical changes.", "Both are only physical changes.", "Both are caused by cooling." ]
B
Step 1: Think about each change. Cooking chicken is a chemical change. The heat causes the matter in the chicken to change. Cooked chicken and raw chicken are different types of matter. Metal turning less shiny over time is called tarnishing. A penny tarnishing is a chemical change. When air touches the penny, the surface of the penny changes into a different type of matter. This matter makes the penny dull. 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. Cooking is caused by heating. But a penny tarnishing is not. Both are caused by cooling. Neither change is caused by cooling.

A train leaves its departure station with 6 coal cars, 12 iron cars, and 2 wood cars. Between each station, there are 6 miles, and it takes 25 minutes to travel between them. At each station, the train can deposit up to 2 coal cars, 3 iron cars, and 1 wood car. How many minutes will it take to deliver all the cars?
null
100
To deliver all the coal, you need to pass by 6 coal / 2 coal/station = <<6/2=3>>3 stations To deliver all the iron, you need to pass by 12 iron / 3 iron/station = <<12/3=4>>4 stations To deliver all the wood, you need to pass by 2 wood / 1 wood/station = <<2=2>>2 stations So 4 stations are needed to deliver everything, so 4 stations * 25 minutes/station = <<4*25=100>>100 minutes are needed #### 100

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.

Hadley loves to do volunteer work at the local library. On a certain day, she neatly arranges 100 books on the shelf. By lunchtime, a certain number of books had been borrowed. She added 40 more books to the same shelf. By evening, 30 more books had been borrowed. If the shelf had 60 books remaining by the evening, how many books had been borrowed by lunchtime?
null
50
Let x be the number of books borrowed by lunchtime. So by lunchtime, the remaining number of books will be 100-x After adding 40 more books, the total number of books increased to 100-x+40. By evening, after 30 more books have been borrowed, the total number of books remaining is 100-x+40-30 = 60 Thus 110 - x = 60. Thus x = <<50=50>>50 books #### 50

The math questions in a contest are divided into three rounds: easy, average, and hard. There are corresponding points given for each round. That is 2, 3, and 5 points for every correct answer in the easy, average, and hard rounds, respectively. Suppose Kim got 6 correct answers in the easy; 2 correct answers in the average; and 4 correct answers in the difficult round, what are her total points in the contest?
null
38
Kim got 6 points/round x 2 round = <<6*2=12>>12 points in the easy round. She got 2 points/round x 3 rounds = <<2*3=6>>6 points in the average round. She got 4 points/round x 5 rounds = <<4*5=20>>20 points in the difficult round. So her total points is 12 points + 6 points + 20 points = <<12+6+20=38>>38 points. #### 38

Based on this information, what is Abby's phenotype for the fur texture trait?
[ "soft fur", "rough fur" ]
A
Abby's genotype for the fur texture gene is ff. Abby's genotype of ff has only f alleles. The f allele is for soft fur. So, Abby's phenotype for the fur texture trait must be soft fur. To check this answer, consider whether Abby's alleles are dominant or recessive. The allele for rough fur (F) is dominant over the allele for soft fur (f). This means F is a dominant allele, and f is a recessive allele. Abby's genotype of ff has only recessive alleles. An organism with only recessive alleles for a gene will have the recessive allele's version of the trait. So, Abby's phenotype for the fur texture trait must be soft fur.

Out of the 10 books, 10 x 2/5 = <<10*2/5=4>>4 are reading books. While 10 x 3/10 = <<10*3/10=3>>3 are math books. There are 3 - 1 = <<3-1=2>>2 science books.

null

Each of the four customers received delivery of 400/4= <<400/4=100>>100 cartons of milk. Since each customer returned 60 cartons that were damaged during delivery, the number of cartons accepted is 100-60 = <<100-60=40>>40 cartons by each customer. If each customer accepted 40 cartons, the total number of cartons that the four customers did not return is 40*4 = <<40*4=160>>160 #### 160

Liz's basketball team is down by 20 points in the final quarter of their game. Liz goes on a shooting spree, sinking 5 free throw shots, 3 three-pointers, and 4 other jump shots. The other team only scores 10 points that quarter, and none of Liz's teammates manage to score any points. How much does Liz's team lose by at the end of the game?
null

Each free throw counts as 1 point, so 5 successful free throws means she scores 5*1= <<5*1=5>>5 points Each 3 pointer counts as 3 points, so this means Liz scores 3*3= <<3*3=9>>9 points from 3 pointers Each jump shot counts as 2 points, meaning Liz scores 4*2=<<4*2=8>>8 points of jump shots. Liz's opponents score 10 points during the quarter, meaning their lead is 30 points in total before accounting for Liz's scoring. Liz scores a total of 5+9+8=<<5+9+8=22>>22 points in the quarter. This amount is subtracted from the lead of Liz's opponents, meaning they win by 30-22= <<30-22=8>>8 points. #### 8
