How can pine tree seeds get dispersed?
[ "by sticking to female cones", "by blowing in the wind" ]

Bob and Johnny have a leaf raking business. They charge $4 for each bag of leaves they rake. On Monday they raked 5 bags of leaves. On Tuesday they raked 3 bags of leaves. On Wednesday, they counted their money and found they had $68 for all three days. How many bags of leaves did they rake on Wednesday?

Which solution has a higher concentration of purple particles?
[ "neither; their concentrations are the same", "Solution A", "Solution B" ]
C
In Solution A and Solution B, the purple particles represent the solute. To figure out which solution has a higher concentration of purple particles, look at both the number of purple particles and the volume of the solvent in each container. Use the concentration formula to find the number of purple particles per milliliter. Solution B has more purple particles per milliliter. So, Solution B has a higher concentration of purple particles.

Cutting an apple is a physical change. The apple gets a different shape. But it is still made of the same type of matter as the uncut apple. Step 2: Look at each answer choice. Both are only physical changes. Both changes are physical changes. No new matter is created. Both are chemical changes. Both changes are physical changes. They are not chemical changes. Both are caused by heating. Neither change is caused by heating. Both are caused by cooling. Neither change is caused by cooling.

Complete the text to describe the diagram. Solute particles moved in both directions across the permeable membrane. But more solute particles moved across the membrane (). When there was an equal concentration on both sides, the particles reached equilibrium.
[ "to the left than to the right", "to the right than to the left" ]
B
Look at the diagram again. It shows you how the solution changed during the process of diffusion. Before the solute particles reached equilibrium, there were 6 solute particles on the left side of the membrane and 4 solute particles on the right side of the membrane. When the solute particles reached equilibrium, there were 5 solute particles on each side of the membrane. There was 1 more solute particle on the right side of the membrane than before. So, for the solute particles to reach equilibrium, more solute particles must have moved across the membrane to the right than to the left.

An author of a book got 6% of the total sales of the paper cover version of his books and 12% of the total sales of the hardcover version.

The total earnings for the paper cover version were $0.20 x 32 000 = $<<0.20*32000=6400>>6,400. So, the author earned $6,400 x 6/100 = $384 from the paper cover version. The total earnings for the hardcover version were $0.40 x 15,000 = $<<0.40*15000=6000>>6,000. So, the author earned $6,000 x 12/100 = $<<6000*12/100=720>>720 from the hardcover version.

[ "Both are caused by cooling.", "Both are caused by heating.", "Both are chemical changes.", "Both are only physical changes." ]
D
Step 1: Think about each change. Cutting your fingernails is a physical change. Your fingernails are shorter after you cut them. But the pieces are still made of the same type of matter as the uncut fingernails. Stretching a rubber band is a physical change. The rubber band gets longer. But it is still made of the same type of matter as before. Step 2: Look at each answer choice. Both are only physical changes. Both changes are physical changes. No new matter is created. Both are chemical changes. Both changes are physical changes. They are not chemical changes. Both are caused by heating. Neither change is caused by heating. Both are caused by cooling. Neither change is caused by cooling.

With one mighty blow, Maria cracked open the pinata, and candies spilled all over the floor. There were 40 red candies, 20 less than three times as many yellow candies as red candies, and half as many blue candies as yellow candies. If Carlos ate all of the yellow candies, how many candies remained?
null
90
Three times the number of red candies is 40*3=<<40*3=120>>120. So, for yellow candies, there were 20 less than 120 candies, or a total of 120-20=<<120-20=100>>100 yellow candies. Half as many blue candies as yellow candies is 100/2=<<100/2=50>>50 blue candies. If Carlos ate all of the yellow candies, then only the 40 red and 50 blue candies remained for a total of 40+50=<<40+50=90>>90 candies. #### 90

Based on this information, what is this rainbow trout's genotype for the body color gene?
[ "bb", "a blue body" ]
A
An organism's genotype for a gene is its combination of alleles for that gene. The rainbow trout has two alleles for a blue body (b). So, the trout's genotype for the body color gene is bb.

Three old cars displayed in an auction event have different manufacture dates. The first car, made in 1970, was made 10 years earlier than the second car. The third car was manufactured 20 years later after the second car was manufactured. Calculate the year that the third car was made.
null
2000
If the first car was made 10 years earlier than the second car, then the manufacture date for the second car is 1970+10 = 1980 The third car was manufactured 20 years after the second car was made, which is 1980+20 = 2000 #### 2000

Jerry charges $20 to pierce someone's nose and 50% more to pierce their ears. If he pierces 6 noses and 9 ears, how much money does he make?
null
390
First find how much more Jerry charges to pierce one person's ears than their nose: $20 * 50% = $<<20*50*.01=10>>10 Then add that amount to the cost of nose piercing to find the total cost: $10 + $20 = $<<10+20=30>>30 Then multiply that price by the number of ears he pierces to find his total earnings from ear-piercing: $30/ear * 9 ears = $<<30*9=270>>270 Then multiply the price of nose-piercing by the number of noses pierced: $20/nose * 6 noses = $<<20*6=120>>120 Then add the money from nose-piercing to the money from ear-piercing to find Jerry's total income: $120 + $270 = $<<120+270=390>>390 #### 390

Ali, Nada, and John have a total of $67 in their wallets. Ali has $5 less than Nada and John has 4 times more than Nada. How much money does John have?
null
48
Let's say that N is what Nada has, J is what John has, and A is what Ali has. We know that A = N - 5 and J = 4N. We also know that: N + A + J = $67 We can substitute the equations from step 1 into the equations from step 2 to get: N + 4N + (N-5) = $67 Combining like terms gets us 6N - 5 = $67 So, N=($67+5)/6 = $12 Substituting $12 back into the equation J = 4 N, we find John has 4 x 12 = $<<4*12=48>>48 #### 48

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 smaller in Pair 1.", "The magnitude of the magnetic force is the same in both pairs.", "The magnitude of the magnetic force is smaller in Pair 2." ]
C
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 greater distance between magnets, the magnitude of the magnetic force between them is smaller. There is a greater distance between the magnets in Pair 2 than in Pair 1. So, the magnitude of the magnetic force is smaller in Pair 2 than in Pair 1.

Daniel owns a textile company. Every Monday he delivers 20 yards of fabric, and every Tuesday he delivers twice the amount of fabric he delivers on Monday. Every Wednesday, he delivers 1/4 of the amount of fabric he delivers on Tuesday. If each yard of fabric costs $2 and each yard of yarn costs $3, how much does he earn from Monday to Wednesday?
null
140
Every Tuesday, Daniel delivers 20 x 2 = <<20*2=40>>40 yards of fabric. Every Wednesday, he delivers 40 x 1/4 = <<40*1/4=10>>10 yards of fabric. Thus, he delivers a total of 20 + 40 + 10 = <<20+40+10=70>>70 yards of fabric from Monday to Wednesday. Therefore, Daniel earns $2 x 70 = $<<2*70=140>>140 from it. #### 140

A forester is planting trees. The forest already has 30 native trees. On Monday he triples the number of total trees in the forest by planting new trees. On Tuesday, he plants a third of the amount he planted on Monday. How many trees has the forester planted in total?
null
80
Let M be the number of trees he plants on Monday. On Monday the forest was three times larger from the trees that were originally there and the M trees: 3*30 = 30 + M trees. So, 90=30+M. And, M = <<60=60>>60 trees. On Tuesday, he planted 60 trees / 3 = <<60/3=20>>20 trees. In total, he has planted 60 trees + 20 trees = <<60+20=80>>80 trees. #### 80
