-40°F is how many °C?

40% Answer Correctly

\(-{40 \over 9}\)

-8

-40

\({40 \over 9}\)


Solution

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

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)

plugging in our values gives:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (-40 - 32)\)

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

\(C° = {-360 \over 9}\)

\(C° = -40\)


2

In the food chain, omnivores may be which of the following?

45% Answer Correctly

primary or tertiary consumers

secondary consumers or scavengers

primary or secondary consumers

secondary or tertiary consumers


Solution

Secondary or tertiary consumers may be omnivores.


3

The crust and lithosphere of the Earth is made up of which of the following?

58% Answer Correctly

plates

continents

metamorphic rock

sedimentary rock


Solution

The crust and the rigid lithosphere (upper mantle) is made up approximately thirty separate plates. These plates more very slowly on the slightly more liquid mantle (asthenosphere) beneath them. This movement has resulted in continental drift which is the gradual movement of land masses across Earth's surface. Continental drift is a very slow process, occurring over hundreds of millions of years.


4

Which of the following is the primary difference between a comet and an asteroid?

46% Answer Correctly

comets have an atmosphere

comets orbit the Sun

asteroids have a coma

asteroids contain frozen water


Solution

A comet is a loose collection of ice, dust, and small rocky particles that, in contrast to an asteroid, has an extended atmosphere surrounding the center. When passing close to the Sun, this atmosphere warms and begins to release gases forming a visible coma or tail.


5

Which of these does not contain oxygenated blood?

47% Answer Correctly

right atrium

left ventricle

aorta

pulmonary vein


Solution

To provide oxygen to the body, blood flows through the heart in a path formed by the right atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → left ventricle → body. When blood enters the right side of the heart it is deoxygenated. It enters the left side of the heart oxygenated after traveling to the lungs.
