-40°F is how many °C?

40% Answer Correctly

\(-{40 \over 9}\)

-40

\({40 \over 9}\)

-8


Solution

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

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)

plugging in our values gives:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (-40 - 32)\)

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (-72) = {{-72 \times 5} \over 9}\)

\(C° = {-360 \over 9}\)

\(C° = -40\)


3

During digestion, the kidneys filter substances from the blood. Which of the following is not filtered by the kidneys?

74% Answer Correctly

water

salt

minerals

fats


Solution

Chemical waste like excess water, minerals, and salt are filtered from the blood by the kidneys and secreted into the urine. Urine is transported from the kidneys to the bladder through ureters.


4

Heat is always transferred from __________ to __________ environments.

68% Answer Correctly

warmer, cooler

empty, dense

cooler, warmer

dense, empty


Solution

Heat is always transferred from warmer to cooler environments and conduction is the simplest way this transfer can occur. It is accomplished through direct contact between materials and materials like metals that transfer heat efficiently are called conductors while those that conduct heat poorly, such as plastic, are called insulators.


5
