Convert 5C° to F°.

53% Answer Correctly

-23

37

41

27


Solution

To convert from C° to F° use:

\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)

\(F° = {9 \over 5}(5) + 32\)

\(F° = {45 \over 5} + 32\)

\(F° = 9 + 32 = 41\)


2

As part of digestion, the liver produces bile which breaks down:

65% Answer Correctly

protein

sugars

starches

fat


Solution

The liver produces bile which emulsifies (separates) fat.


3

The angle of reflection is equal to which the following?

48% Answer Correctly

focal point

90°

refractive index

angle of incidence


Solution

The law of reflection specifies how waves, including light waves, bounce off of surfaces. Specifically, the angle of incidence of the approaching wave is equal to the angle of reflection of the reflected wave as measured from a line perpendicular (90°) to the surface.


4

Which of the following is not one of the outer planets?

73% Answer Correctly

Neptune

Venus

Uranus

Jupiter


Solution

In contrast to the solid terrestrial planets, the outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune) consist of hydrogen and helium gas and water.


5

-40°F is how many °C?

40% Answer Correctly

-40

\(-{40 \over 9}\)

\({40 \over 9}\)

-8


Solution

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

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)

plugging in our values gives:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (-40 - 32)\)

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

\(C° = {-360 \over 9}\)

\(C° = -40\)
