-40°F is how many °C?

40% Answer Correctly

\(-{40 \over 9}\)

\({40 \over 9}\)

-40

-8


Solution

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

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)

plugging in our values gives:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (-40 - 32)\)

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

\(C° = {-360 \over 9}\)

\(C° = -40\)


2

Earth's history is divided into time periods, which of these is the longest time period? 

67% Answer Correctly

epoch

era

eon

age


Solution

The Earth is approximately 4.6 billion years old and its history is divided into time periods based on the events that took place and the forms of life that were dominant during those periods. The largest graduation of time is the eon and each eon is subdivided into eras, eras into periods, periods into epochs, and epochs into ages.


3

The brain and spinal cord make up the __________ nervous system.

81% Answer Correctly

central

autonomic

peripheral

somatic


Solution

The nervous system consists of the brain and spinal cord (central nervous system) and the peripheral nervous system which is the network of nerve cells (neurons) that collect and distribute signals from the central nervous system throughout the body.


4

An endoskeleton (internal skeleton) is a charateristic of __________ animals, including humans.

85% Answer Correctly

arthropod

sentient

spiny

vertebrate


Solution

An endoskeleton (internal skeleton) is a charateristic of vertebrate animals, including humans.


5

212°F is how many °C?

77% Answer Correctly

-100

\(135 {5 \over 9}\)

0

100


Solution

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

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)

plugging in our values gives:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (212 - 32)\)

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (180) = {{180 \times 5} \over 9}\)

\(C° = {900 \over 9}\)

\(C° = 100\)
