What do these two changes have in common? an old sandwich rotting in a trashcan a piece of apple turning brown
[ "Both are only physical changes.", "Both are caused by heating.", "Both are caused by cooling.", "Both are chemical changes." ]
D
Step 1: Think about each change. A sandwich rotting is a chemical change. The matter in the sandwich breaks down and slowly turns into a different type of matter. A piece of apple turning brown is a chemical change. The apple reacts with oxygen in the air and turns into a different type of matter. If you scrape off the brown layer of the apple, the inside is still white. The inside hasn't touched the air. So the chemical change didn't happen to that part of the apple. 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. Neither change is caused by heating. Both are caused by cooling. Neither change is caused by cooling.

A company hires employees on a contract basis, depending on the availability of work. In a particular month, they hired 200 more employees on the first week than on the second week, and 150 fewer employees on the second week than on the third week. If the number of employees hired on the fourth week was twice the number hired in the third week, and the number of employees on the fourth week was 400, what's the average number of employees hired per week?
null

The fourth week had twice the number of employees as the third week, so 400/2 = <<400/2=200>>200 employees on the third week. In the third week, they hired 150 fewer employees than on the second week, that is 200-150 = <<200-150=50>>50 employees hired on the second week. The first week had 200 more hirings than the second week, that is 50+200 = <<50+200=250>>250 employees. The total number of employees hired is 250+50+200+400 = <<250+50+200+400=900>>900.

Complete the sentence. The Mid-Atlantic Ridge formed at a () boundary.
[ "divergent", "transform", "convergent" ]
A
To figure out what type of plate boundary formed the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, you need to know how the tectonic plates interacted. To find this out, read the passage carefully. The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is a massive mountain chain that runs along the floor of the Atlantic Ocean. On this map, the ridge is shown by the light blue area between Africa and South America. The dark blue areas on either side of the ridge show deeper regions of the ocean. The Mid-Atlantic Ridge began to form millions of years ago as the African Plate and the South American Plate moved away from each other. The plates are still moving apart at a rate of about 2.5 centimeters per year, causing the ridge to grow even taller and wider. The underlined part of the passage explains that the Mid-Atlantic Ridge formed as the two plates moved away from each other, or diverged. So, the Mid-Atlantic Ridge formed at a divergent boundary.

What do these two changes have in common? boiling sugar to make caramel water boiling on a stove
[ "Both are only physical changes.", "Both are caused by heating.", "Both are caused by cooling.", "Both are chemical changes." ]
B
Step 1: Think about each change. Boiling sugar to make caramel is a chemical change. The heat causes the sugar to change into a different type of matter. Unlike sugar, the new matter is brown and sticky. Water boiling on the stove is a change of state. So, it is a physical change. The liquid changes into a gas, but a different type of matter is not formed. Step 2: Look at each answer choice. Both are only physical changes. Water boiling is a physical change. But boiling sugar to make caramel is not. Both are chemical changes. Boiling sugar to make caramel is a chemical change. But water boiling is not. Both are caused by heating. Both changes are caused by heating. Both are caused by cooling. Neither change is caused by cooling.
