Last year, Jorge planted corn on all of his 60 acres of property. Typically, corn grown on good soil yields 400 bushels per acre, but in clay-rich soil, the yield is only half as much per acre as in good soil. One-third of Jorge's 60 acres of land is clay-rich soil and the rest is good soil. How many bushels of corn did Jorge's land yield last year?
null
20000
Jorge has 60 * (1/3) = <<60*(1/3)=20>>20 acres of clay-rich soil. He has 60 - 20 = <<60-20=40>>40 acres of good soil. At 400 bushels per acre, his 40 acres of good soil produced 40 * 400 = <<400*40=16000>>16,000 bushels of corn. If good soil produces 400 bushels per acre, clay-rich soil produces 400 / 2 = <<400/2=200>>200 bushels per acre. At 200 bushels per acre, his 20 acres of clay-rich soil produced 20 * 200 = <<200*20=4000>>4,000 bushels of corn. Altogether, his land produced 16,000 + 4,000 = <<16000+4000=20000>>20,000 bushels of corn. #### 20000

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

On a particular day, Rose's teacher read the register and realized there were twice as many girls as boys present on that day. The class has 250 students, and all the 140 girls were present. If all the absent students were boys, how many boys were absent that day?
null

If there were twice as many girls as boys present that day, then the number of boys is 140 girls / 2 girls/boy = <<140/2=70>>70 boys. The total number of students present that day is 140 girls + 70 boys = <<140+70=210>>210 students. If the class has 250 students, then the number of boys absent is 250 students - 210 students = <<250-210=40>>40 boys. #### 40

Louise is in a toy store. She already has 28 toys worth $10 each in her cart. On her way to the till she adds 20 teddy bears to the cart. If the $580 in Louise’s wallet is exactly enough to pay for all the toys, how much does each teddy bear cost?

Initially, Louise's cart has toys worth 10 * 28 = <<10*28=280>>280 dollars If Louise pays for the toys originally in her cart, her wallet will remain with 580 - 280 = <<580-280=300>>300 dollars.

What do these two changes have in common? an engine using gasoline to power a car melting glass
[ "Both are caused by cooling.", "Both are only physical changes.", "Both are chemical changes.", "Both are caused by heating." ]
D
Step 1: Think about each change. An engine using gasoline to power a car is a chemical change. High temperatures in the engine break the chemical bonds in the molecules of gasoline and release energy. The atoms then link together to form new molecules, such as water, carbon dioxide, and other chemicals. Melting glass is a change of state. So, it is a physical change. The glass changes from solid to liquid. But a different type of matter is not formed. Step 2: Look at each answer choice. Both are only physical changes. Melting glass is a physical change. But an engine using gasoline to power a car is not. Both are chemical changes. An engine using gasoline to power a car is a chemical change. But melting glass is not. Both are caused by heating. Both changes are caused by heating. Both are caused by cooling. Neither change is caused by cooling.

Look at the picture of the giant pangolin. The giant pangolin has hard scales on its skin. Its skin is adapted for protection against a predator with sharp teeth. The scales make it difficult for predators to hurt or kill the giant pangolin. Now look at each animal. Figure out which animal has a similar adaptation. The southern three-banded armadillo has hard scales on its skin. Its skin is adapted for protection against a predator with sharp teeth. The kingsnake has soft scales covering its skin. Its skin is not adapted for protection against predators with sharp teeth.

Jerome bought 5 new toy cars last month. This month he bought twice as many so that he has 40 toy cars now. How many toy cars did Jerome have originally?
null

Jerome bought 5 x 2 = <<5*2=10>>10 toy cars this month. So he bought a total of 5 + 10 = <<5+10=15>>15 toy cars. Therefore, Jerome had 40 - 15 = <<40-15=25>>25 toy cars originally. #### 25

Compare the motion of three bicycles. Which bicycle was moving at the lowest speed?
[ "a bicycle that moved 245kilometers east in 5hours", "a bicycle that moved 70kilometers north in 5hours", "a bicycle that moved 230kilometers north in 5hours" ]
B
Look at the distance each bicycle moved and the time it took to move that distance. The direction each bicycle moved does not affect its speed. Notice that each bicycle moved for 5 hours. The bicycle that moved 70 kilometers moved the shortest distance in that time. So, that bicycle must have moved at the lowest speed.

Lorenzo put three full cans of thumbtacks into his pocket and went off to work at the corkboard factory. It was Lorenzo's job, as head of quality control, to test every cork board for its ability to hold thumbtacks. He placed one thumbtack from each of the three cans of thumbtacks into every board tested. At the end of the day, he had tested 120 boards and had 30 tacks remaining in each of the three cans. What was the total combined number of thumbtacks from the three full cans?
null
450
At the end of the day, he had tested 120 boards, each with three tacks, for a total of 3*120=<<120*3=360>>360 tacks He had 30 tacks remaining in each of the three cans, for an additional 3*30=<<3*30=90>>90 thumbs tacks. Therefore, the original total combined number of thumbtacks in the three full cans of thumbtacks was 360+90=<<360+90=450>>450 thumbtacks. #### 450

Which of the following organisms is the tertiary consumer in this food web?
[ "golden algae", "black crappie", "rotifer" ]
B
Tertiary consumers eat secondary consumers. So, in a food web, tertiary consumers have arrows pointing to them from secondary consumers. Secondary consumers have arrows pointing to them from primary consumers. And primary consumers have arrows pointing to them from producers. The copepod has an arrow pointing to it from the rotifer. The rotifer is a secondary consumer, so the copepod is a tertiary consumer. The golden algae does not have any arrows pointing to it, so it is not a tertiary consumer. The rotifer has arrows pointing to it from the green algae and the water flea. Neither the green algae nor the water flea is a secondary consumer, so the rotifer is not a tertiary consumer. The black crappie has arrows pointing to it from the rotifer and the shiner. The rotifer and the shiner are secondary consumers, so the black crappie is a tertiary consumer.
