Jack is a soccer player. He needs to buy two pairs of socks and a pair of soccer shoes. Each pair of socks cost $9.50, and the shoes cost $92. Jack has $40. How much more money does Jack need?
null

The total cost of two pairs of socks is $9.50 x 2 = $<<9.5*2=19>>19. The total cost of the socks and the shoes is $19 + $92 = $<<19+92=111>>111. Jack need $111 - $40 = $<<111-40=71>>71 more. #### 71

Which statement is true about the average monthly precipitation in Charlotte?
[ "June is wetter than July.", "Charlotte has a rainy season and a dry season.", "Precipitation does not change much from month to month." ]
C
To describe the average precipitation trends in Charlotte, look at the graph. Choice "Jun" is incorrect. Choice "Jul" is incorrect. Choice "June is wetter than July." is incorrect. Wetter months have a higher average precipitation than drier months. June and July have the same average monthly precipitation. So, June is not wetter than July. Choice "Charlotte has a rainy season and a dry season." is incorrect. The average monthly precipitation does not change much throughout the year. Every month has some rain, and there is no dry season. So, Charlotte does not have a rainy season and a dry season. Choice "Precipitation does not change much from month to month." is incorrect. The average monthly precipitation changes only slightly throughout the year.

Compare the average kinetic energies of the particles in each sample. Which sample has the higher temperature?
[ "neither; the samples have the same temperature", "sample B", "sample A" ]
C
Each particle in the two samples has the same mass, but the particles in sample A have a higher average speed than the particles in sample B. So, the particles in sample A have a higher average kinetic energy than the particles in sample B. Because the particles in sample A have the higher average kinetic energy, sample A must have the higher temperature.

What do these two changes have in common? burning a candle mixing glue and laundry powder to create putty
[ "Both are caused by heating.", "Both are only physical changes.", "Both are chemical changes.", "Both are caused by cooling." ]
C
Step 1: Think about each change. Burning a candle is a chemical change. Both the wick and the melted wax burn. They react with oxygen in the air and turn into soot, carbon dioxide, and water. Mixing glue and laundry powder to create putty is a chemical change. The putty is a different type of matter that was not there before the change. 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. Burning is caused by heating. But mixing glue and laundry powder to create putty is not. Both are caused by cooling. Neither change is caused by cooling.

[ "The magnitude of the magnetic force is greater in Pair 1.", "The magnitude of the magnetic force is the same in both pairs.", "The magnitude of the magnetic force is greater in Pair 2." ]
A
The magnets in Pair 2 attract. The magnets in Pair 1 repel. But whether the magnets attract or repel affects only the direction of the magnetic force. It does not affect the magnitude of the magnetic force. Distance affects the magnitude of the magnetic force. When there is a smaller distance between magnets, the magnitude of the magnetic force between them is greater. There is a smaller distance between the magnets in Pair 1 than in Pair 2. So, the magnitude of the magnetic force is greater in Pair 1 than in Pair 2.

William used two days to the limit, which means 6 * 2 = <<6*2=12>>12 hours of horse riding. For two days he rode a horse 1.5 a day, which makes up to 1.5 * 2 = <<1.5*2=3>>3 hours. For the next two days, he used only half of the maximum time which means 6 * 0.5 = <<6*0.5=3>>3 hours a day. That means 2 * 3 = <<2*3=6>>6 hours during these two days. So in total William rode his horse for 12 + 3 + 6 = <<12+3+6=21>>21 hours. #### 21

Simon, Gerry, and Micky want to have a race with handmade miniature rafts. Simon's raft needs 36 sticks, Gerry's raft needs two-thirds of the number of sticks that Simon needs, and Micky's raft needs 9 sticks more than Simon and Gerry's rafts combined. How many sticks do the three boys need to collect in total?

There are 40 students in a class. If 1/10 are absent, 3/4 of the students who are present are in the classroom, and the rest are in the canteen, how many students are in the canteen?
null

Out of the 40, 40 x 1/10 = <<40*1/10=4>>4 students are absent. So, 40 - 4 = <<40-4=36>>36 students are present in school. Out of the 36, 36 x 3/4 = <<36*3/4=27>>27 students are in the classroom. This means, 36 - 27 = <<36-27=9>>9 students are in the canteen. #### 9

Lenny bought 20 boxes of pens. Each box contained 5 pens. She gave 40% of the pens to her close friends and one-fourth of what's left to her classmates. How many pens were left for Lenny?
null

Lenny has 20 x 5 = <<20*5=100>>100 pens. She gave her close friends 100 x 40% = <<100*40*.01=40>>40 pens. So, 100 - 40 = <<100-40=60>>60 pens were left. Half of 60 is 60/4= <<60/4=15>>15 pens. Thus, Lenny has 60 - 15 = <<60-15=45>>45 pens left. #### 45

Which of the following organisms is the decomposer in this food web?
[ "beaver", "gray fox", "persimmon tree", "parasol fungus" ]
D
Decomposers help break down dead organisms into simpler matter, such as nutrients. These nutrients can then help plants and other organisms grow. In a food web, there is an arrow pointing from another organism to a decomposer. There are no arrows pointing from a decomposer to another organism. The bolete fungus does not have arrows pointing from it to other organisms. So, the bolete fungus is a decomposer. The gray fox has arrows pointing from it. So, the gray fox is not a decomposer. The beaver has arrows pointing from it. So, the beaver is not a decomposer. The parasol fungus does not have arrows pointing from it to other organisms. So, the parasol fungus is a decomposer. The persimmon tree has arrows pointing from it. So, the persimmon tree is not a decomposer.

At the gym, every day, there are 300 towels laid out for guest use. Each guest is given 1 towel during their visit. The gym is open from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. In the first hour, 50 guests enter the gym. In the second hour, 20% more guests enter than during the first hour. In the third hour, 25% more guests enter than in the second hour. In the fourth hour, one third more guests enter than in the third hour. In total, how many towels do they need to wash that evening?
null
285
In the second hour, the number of towels given out is 50 x 1.20 = <<50*1.20=60>>60. In the third hour, the number of towels given out is 60 x 1.25 = <<60*1.25=75>>75. In the fourth hour, one-third of the guests of the third hour is 75 / 3 = <<75/3=25>>25. In the fourth hour, the number of towels given out is 75 + 25 = <<75+25=100>>100. In total, including the first hour guests, they need to wash this many towels: 50 + 60 + 75 + 100 = <<50+60+75+100=285>>285. #### 285
