Convert 5C° to F°.

53% Answer Correctly

41

37

27

-23


Solution

To convert from C° to F° use:

\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)

\(F° = {9 \over 5}(5) + 32\)

\(F° = {45 \over 5} + 32\)

\(F° = 9 + 32 = 41\)

0°C

32°F

0°F

273K

5

Which of the following describes the Earth's mantle?

81% Answer Correctly

makes up most of Earth's volume

hot

dense

all of these


Solution

Mantle makes up 84% of the Earth's volume and has an average thickness of approximately 1,800 miles (2,900 km). It is dense, hot, and primarily solid although in places it behaves more like a viscous fluid as the plates of the upper mantle and crust gradually "float" along its circumference.
