10 boxes each contain 50 bottles of water. Each bottle has a capacity of 12 liters and is filled up to 3/4 of its capacity. How many liters of water altogether are contained within the bottles in the boxes?
null

Since each water bottle has a capacity of 12 liters, when filled up to 3/4 of capacity, each carries 3/4*12 = <<3/4*12=9>>9 liters of water. If there are 50 bottles of water in each box, the number of liters the water bottles in a box are carrying is 50*9 = <<50*9=450>>450 liters. In 10 boxes containing bottled water, the total number of liters in the water bottles is 450*10 =<<450*10=4500>>4500 liters. #### 4500

Ron ate pizza with his friends the other day. If they ordered a 12-slice pizza and each of them ate 4 slices, how many friends were there with Ron?

To describe the average precipitation trends in New Orleans, look at the graph. Choice "Feb" is incorrect. Choice "Jun" is incorrect. Choice "Jul" is incorrect. Choice "Aug" is incorrect. Choice "Oct" is incorrect. Choice "October is the wettest month." is incorrect. Every other month has a higher average precipitation than October. So, October is the driest, not the wettest, month. Choice "February is wetter than June." is incorrect. February has a lower average precipitation than June. So, February is drier, not wetter, than June. Choice "The wettest months of the year are June, July, and August." is incorrect. On average, more precipitation falls during June, July, and August than during other months of the year.

Lard decides to share a pizza with his friend Jelly. He takes a whole, uncut pepperoni pizza and cuts it in half. He then cuts these halves in half and gives one of the slices to Jelly. Assuming the pizza started with 40 evenly spread slices of pepperoni, how many slices of it are on the slice Lard gives Jelly if 1 of them falls off the slice when Lard picks it up?
null
9
First, we need to determine how many slices the pizza was cut into. To do this, we start by performing 1*2= <<1*2=2>>2 slices after the pizza was cut in half once. Each of these slices was cut in half again, yielding 2*2= <<2*2=4>>4 slices in total. Next, we divide the total amount of pepperoni slices by the number of pizza slices, as the pepperoni was spread evenly. We find there are 40/4= <<40/4=10>>10 slices of pepperoni per pizza slice. Since 1 slice of pepperoni fell off Jelly's slice, this means there are 10-1=<<10-1=9>>9 slices left on her slice. #### 9

He takes out $400 * 0.15 = $<<400*0.15=60>>60 for his gummy bears. So he's left with $400 - $60 = $<<400-60=340>>340. #### 340

A one-year subscription to a newspaper is offered with a 45% discount. How much does the discounted subscription cost if a subscription normally costs $80?
null

We calculate first the discount: 80 * 45 / 100 = $<<80*45/100=36>>36 So, the discounted subscription amounts to 80 – 36 = $<<80-36=44>>44 #### 44

A pastry chef is making brownies but is running out of butter. The recipe he is following calls for 2 ounces of butter for every 1 cup of baking mix; however, it allows 2 ounces of coconut oil to be substituted for the 2 ounces of butter if necessary. The chef would like to use as much butter as possible before switching over and substituting coconut oil. If the chef had 4 ounces of butter remaining, and he plans on using 6 cups of baking mix, how many ounces of coconut oil will he end up using?
null
8
Every 2 ounces of butter is enough to cover 1 cup of baking mix, so the chef's remaining 4 ounces of butter will be enough to cover 4/2 = <<4/2=2>>2 cups of baking mix. This leaves 6 - 2 = <<6-2=4>>4 cups of baking mix that will require the use of coconut oil as a substitute. Since each cup of baking mix requires 2 ounces of coconut oil, these 4 cups will require a total of 4*2 = <<4*2=8>>8 ounces of coconut oil. #### 8

In Alaska the commercial Cod fishing season runs from January 1 - August 1 lasting exactly 7 months, or 213 days on a non-leap year. Two fishermen are competing against each other to see who can earn more profit. The first fisherman plans to catch fish at a steady rate of 3 per day for the entire season. The second fisherman is a novice who will need to start more slowly. He plans to catch only 1 fish per day during the first 30 days, 2 fish per day during the next 60 days, and then 4 fish per day during the remainder of the season. At the end of the season, how many more fish will be caught by the fisherman who catches the higher number of fish?
null
3
The first fisherman will catch 3*213 = <<3*213=639>>639 fish during the season. The second fisherman catch 1*30 + 2*60 = <<1*30+2*60=150>>150 fish during the first 90 days of the season. Then, during the remaining 213 - 90 = 123 days of the season, the second fisherman will can an additional 4*123 = <<4*123=492>>492 fish. Thus, the second fisherman will catch a total of 150 + 492 = <<150+492=642>>642 fish. Therefore, the second fisherman will catch 642 - 639 = <<642-639=3>>3 more fish than the first fisherman at the end of the season. #### 3

B
A Victoria crowned pigeon's scientific name is Goura victoria. The first word of its scientific name is Goura. Aequorea victoria and Goura victoria are not in the same genus. These organisms are not in the same genus, but part of their scientific names is the same. Aequorea victoria and Goura victoria have the same species name within their genus, victoria. But the first words of their scientific names are different. Aequorea victoria is in the genus Aequorea, and Goura victoria is in the genus Goura. Goura scheepmakeri is in the genus Goura. The first word of its scientific name is Goura. So, Goura scheepmakeri and Goura victoria are in the same genus. Alligator mississippiensis is in the genus Alligator. The first word of its scientific name is Alligator. So, Alligator mississippiensis and Goura victoria are not in the same genus.

4 bags have 4 x 20 = <<4*20=80>>80 apples. And, six bags have 6 x 25 = <<6*25=150>>150 apples. Thus, Ella has 80 + 150 = <<80+150=230>>230 apples in all. Therefore, Ella has 230 - 200 = <<230-200=30>>30 apple left. #### 30

What is the expected ratio of offspring with mostly plain scales to offspring with mostly iridescent scales? Choose the most likely ratio.
[ "4:0", "0:4", "2:2", "1:3", "3:1" ]
D
To determine how many boxes in the Punnett square represent offspring with mostly plain scales or mostly iridescent scales, consider whether each phenotype is the dominant or recessive allele's version of the iridescent scales trait. The question tells you that the I allele, which is for mostly iridescent scales, is dominant over the i allele, which is for mostly plain scales. Mostly plain scales is the recessive allele's version of the iridescent scales trait. A betta with the recessive version of the iridescent scales trait must have only recessive alleles for the iridescent scales gene. So, offspring with mostly plain scales must have the genotype ii. There is 1 box in the Punnett square with the genotype ii. This box is highlighted below. Mostly iridescent scales is the dominant allele's version of the iridescent scales trait. A betta with the dominant version of the iridescent scales trait must have at least one dominant allele for the iridescent scales gene. So, offspring with mostly iridescent scales must have the genotype II or Ii. There are 3 boxes in the Punnett square with the genotype II or Ii. These boxes are highlighted below. So, the expected ratio of offspring with mostly plain scales to offspring with mostly iridescent scales is 1:3. This means that, on average, this cross will produce 1 offspring with mostly plain scales for every 3 offspring with mostly iridescent scales.

Which type of relationship is formed when a cattle egret forages near a cow?
[ "parasitic", "commensal", "mutualistic" ]
B
When a cattle egret forages near a cow, the egret can catch more insects. So, the egret benefits from its relationship with the cow. The cow is not helped by the egret, but the cow is not harmed, either. So, the cow is not significantly affected by its relationship with the egret. Since the egret benefits and the cow is not significantly affected, a commensal relationship is formed when a cattle egret forages near a cow.
