2

50°F is how many °C?

72% Answer Correctly

-10

122

58

10


Solution

The formula to convert from F° to C° is:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)

plugging in our values gives:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (50 - 32)\)

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (18)\)

\(C° = {90 \over 9}\)

\(C° = 10\)

74% Answer Correctly

cumulus clouds

fog

cirrus clouds

stratus clouds


Solution

Cumulus clouds are large, puffy, mid-altitude clouds with a flat base and a rounded top. These clouds grow upward and can develop into a cumulonimbus or thunderstorm cloud.


5

Which of the following members of the food chain are most alike?

65% Answer Correctly

primary consumers and omnivores

producers and tertiary consumers

scavengers and decomposers

herbivores and autotrophs


Solution

Like decomposers, scavengers also break down the dead bodies of plants and animals into simple nutrients. The difference is that scavengers operate on much larger refuse and dead animals (carrion). Decomposers then consume the much smaller particles left over by the scavengers.
