Nancy, the librarian, is shelving books from the cart. She shelved 12 history books, 8 romance books, and 4 poetry books from the top section of the cart. Half the books on the bottom section of the cart were mystery books, which she quickly put back into place. Then, she shelved the remaining books from the bottom of the cart, including 5 Western novels and 6 biographies. How many books did she have on the book cart when she started?

Sarah and the final neighbor took the wrong amount, which means that 15 neighbors – 1 Sarah – 1 final neighbor = 13 neighbors took 10 cookies each. This is a total of 13 neighbors * 10 cookies = <<13*10=130>>130 cookies taken by the first 13 neighbors. There were only 8 cookies left, so that means the first 13 neighbors and Sarah took a total of 150 – 8 = 142 cookies. So Sarah must have taken 142 – 130 = <<142-130=12>>12 cookies. #### 12

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 1.", "The magnitude of the magnetic force is greater in Pair 2.", "The magnitude of the magnetic force is the same in both pairs." ]
A
The magnets in Pair 1 attract. The magnets in Pair 2 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. 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 1 than in Pair 2. So, the magnitude of the magnetic force is greater in Pair 1 than in Pair 2.

Half of the 2-hour practice is for running and weightlifting, so the time for running and weight lifting is 1/2 * 2 hours = <<2*1/2=1>>1 hour. If the time he lifts weights is x, then the time he runs is 2x.

Complete the statement. Dichloromethane is ().
[ "an elementary substance", "a compound" ]
B
You can tell whether dichloromethane is an elementary substance or a compound by counting the number of atomic symbols in its chemical formula. An atomic symbol consists of either one capital letter or a capital letter followed by one or two lowercase letters. The chemical formula for dichloromethane, CH2 Cl2, contains three atomic symbols: C for carbon, H for hydrogen, and Cl for chlorine. So, the formula tells you that dichloromethane is composed of three chemical elements bonded together. Since dichloromethane is composed of multiple chemical elements bonded together, dichloromethane is a compound.

Mary is writing a story, and wants her 60 characters to be split according to their initials. Half of her characters have the initial A, and half of this amount have the initial C. Mary wants the rest of her characters to have the initials D and E, but she wants there to be twice as many characters with the initial D as there are characters with the initial E. How many of Mary’s characters have the initial D?
null

Half the characters have the initial A, which is a total of 60 / 2 = <<60/2=30>>30 characters. This means that 30 / 2 = <<30/2=15>>15 characters have the initial C. Mary wants the remaining 60 – 30 – 15 = <<60-30-15=15>>15 characters to have the initials D or E. For there to be twice as many characters with the initial D, the characters are divided into 2 + 1 = <<2+1=3>>3 parts. Dividing by this means there are 15 / 3 = <<15/3=5>>5 characters with the initial E. This leaves 15 – 5 = <<15-5=10>>10 characters with the initial D. #### 10

Why might feeding offspring during mouthbrooding increase the reproductive success of a female blunthead cichlid? Complete the claim below that answers this question and is best supported by the passage. Feeding offspring during mouthbrooding increases the chances that ().
[ "the female will become weak and unhealthy", "the female's offspring will survive", "the female will hold more offspring in her mouth" ]
B
Look for the part of the passage that describes the effect of feeding offspring during mouthbrooding. Use this information to determine why this behavior can increase the reproductive success of the female blunthead cichlid. Choice "Blunthead cichlids (SIK-lids) are fish that live in Lake Tanganyika in Eastern Africa. After a female blunthead cichlid lays eggs, she holds the eggs in her mouth. Once they hatch, her young fish live in her mouth until they are old enough to survive on their own. This process, called mouthbrooding, takes about six weeks." is incorrect. Choice "While mouthbrooding, the female cichlid catches algae from the lake. But she does not swallow any. Instead, she feeds the algae to her offspring by holding it in her mouth for the offspring to eat. By eating the algae, the offspring grow larger and become faster swimmers that can escape predators more quickly." is incorrect. Choice "Choice "Feeding offspring during mouthbrooding increases the chances that the female will become weak and unhealthy." is incorrect." is incorrect. Choice "Feeding offspring during mouthbrooding may increase the chances that the female cichlid will go hungry. This could make her weak and unhealthy. But the passage does not support the claim that the female can increase her reproductive success by becoming weak and unhealthy. Becoming too weak or unhealthy could kill or permanently harm the female. This could decrease her reproductive success." is incorrect. Choice "Choice "Feeding offspring during mouthbrooding increases the chances that the female's offspring will survive." is correct." is correct. Choice "According to the underlined text, offspring that are fed during mouthbrooding are able to escape predators more quickly. So, by feeding offspring during mouthbrooding, a female cichlid helps her offspring escape predators. This increases the chances that the female's offspring will survive, which can increase her reproductive success." is incorrect. Choice "Choice "Feeding offspring during mouthbrooding increases the chances that the female will hold more offspring in her mouth." is incorrect." is incorrect. Choice "Holding more offspring in her mouth could increase the chances that more of the female cichlid's offspring will survive. This could increase her reproductive success. But the passage does not discuss what affects how many offspring the female holds in her mouth. So, the passage does not support this claim." is incorrect.

B
Look at the chemical formula for each substance, and count the number of symbols in the formula. Then, decide if the substance is an elementary substance. The chemical formula for silicon dioxide contains two symbols: Si for silicon and O for oxygen. So, silicon dioxide is made of two chemical elements bonded together. Substances that are made of two or more chemical elements bonded together are compounds. So, silicon dioxide is a compound, not an elementary substance. The chemical formula for palladium contains one symbol: Pd. So, palladium is made of one chemical element. Substances that are made of one chemical element are elementary substances. So, palladium is an elementary substance. The chemical formula for carbon dioxide contains two symbols: C for carbon and O for oxygen. So, carbon dioxide is made of two chemical elements bonded together. Substances that are made of two or more chemical elements bonded together are compounds. So, carbon dioxide is a compound, not an elementary substance.

If they plan to study no more than 4 hours each day, how many days should they plan to study total over the next week if they take a 10-minute break every hour, include 3 10-minute snack breaks each day, and 30 minutes for lunch each day?
null

Angelo and Melanie think they should dedicate 3 hours to each of the 2 chapters, 3 hours x 2 chapters = <<3*2=6>>6 hours total. For the worksheets they plan to dedicate 1.5 hours for each worksheet, 1.5 hours x 4 worksheets = <<1.5*4=6>>6 hours total. Angelo and Melanie need to start with planning 12 hours to study, at 4 hours a day, 12 / 4 = <<12/4=3>>3 days. However, they need to include time for breaks and lunch. Every hour they want to include a 10-minute break, so 12 total hours x 10 minutes = <<12*10=120>>120 extra minutes for breaks. They also want to include 3 10-minute snack breaks, 3 x 10 minutes = <<3*10=30>>30 minutes. And they want to include 30 minutes for lunch each day, so 120 minutes for breaks + 30 minutes for snack breaks + 30 minutes for lunch = 180 minutes, or 180 / 60 minutes per hour = 3 extra hours. So Angelo and Melanie want to plan 12 hours to study + 3 hours of breaks = <<12+3=15>>15 hours total. They want to study no more than 4 hours each day, 15 hours / 4 hours each day = <<15/4=3.75>>3.75 They will need to plan to study 4 days to allow for all the time they need. #### 4

Based on this information, what is Rolf's phenotype for the fur color trait?
[ "brown fur", "black fur" ]
A
Rolf's genotype for the fur color gene is ff. Rolf's genotype of ff has only f alleles. The f allele is for brown fur. So, Rolf's phenotype for the fur color trait must be brown fur. To check this answer, consider whether Rolf's alleles are dominant or recessive. The allele for brown fur (f) is recessive to the allele for black fur (F). This means F is a dominant allele, and f is a recessive allele. Rolf's genotype of ff has only recessive alleles. An organism with only recessive alleles for a gene will have the recessive allele's version of the trait. So, Rolf's phenotype for the fur color trait must be brown fur.

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