People fear wolves. While some of their fear is sensible, wolves actually have more to fear from people than people do from wolves. Although wolves are strong and fierce, wolf attacks on humans are very rare. In nearly all cases, they occur only when people provoke or corner wolves. People, on the other hand, have regularly baited and trapped wolves from the earliest of times. For various reasons, farmers, ranchers, and trappers in North America have all sought to reduce the wolf population. By 1950, there were almost no wolves left in the United States. Finally, in 1974, Congress granted gray wolves a protected status.

Iodine is an important micronutrient, a vitamin or mineral that is necessary for good health. It helps the body to produce hormones, helps babies develop in the womb, and is important to many other body processes. In 1924, iodine was added to salt to make up for a lack of public access to dairy foods and ocean fish, which are natural sources of iodine. The modern American diet, however, includes many processed foods that contain iodine. As a result, many salt manufacturers have stopped adding iodine to their products, a change that did not get much attention in the media. Some nutrition experts are concerned that people who still rely on table salt as a source of iodine will have an increase in disease caused by a diet lacking in the micronutrient. Only time will tell, as America moves into a new era where table salt is no longer a guaranteed source of iodine.
Identify TWO pieces of evidence the author uses to support the idea that taking iodine out of table salt might cause harm.

Many jobs that we know today will someday be taken over by robotics. For example, you may have seen the self-checkout lanes at grocery stores. These machines do the jobs that people used to do, making many human cashiers obsolete. Even though they have some flaws, these machines have benefits as well. They can work without needing a paycheck, and they never get tired. Robots may break once in a while, but unlike humans, they never complain. Some people are worried about losing their jobs, but others are excited about all of the possibilities new technology might bring.
What is the meaning of the word obsolete?
no longer needed
determined
upset
missing
no longer needed

Public libraries today offer free technology workshops, small business centers, and virtual access to e-books and digital materials. They also lend out unique items like musical instruments, kids’ toys, and gardening tools. They even offer free and discounted passes to local museums.
Which of the following can be inferred based on the information in the sentences above?
Libraries are working hard to remain relevant in the digital age by expanding their offerings.
Because most people read books on their phones or tablets, libraries are no longer necessary.
Libraries should charge patrons money so they can continue to offer a wide range of high-quality goods and services.
Because people prefer musical instruments to books, the library should switch its focus to music instead of literacy.
Libraries are working hard to remain relevant in the digital age by expanding their offerings.

Ninety students auditioned for the school play. One-third of those who auditioned were cast, 6 in major roles. What fraction of those who were cast got major roles?
Write your answer as a decimal
To find the fraction of those who were cast that got major roles, we need to divide the number of students who got major roles (6) by the total number of students who were cast (1/3 of 90).
1/3 of 90 = (1/3) * 90 = 30
So, out of the 30 students who were cast, 6 got major roles.
To find the fraction as a decimal, we divide 6 by 30:
6/30 = 0.2
Therefore, the fraction of those who were cast that got major roles is 0.2.
At Point Pleasant Park, the Advanced Trail is 3.6 times as long as the Medium Trail, and the Medium Trail is 1.2 times as long as the Beginner's Trail. How many times as long as the Beginner’s Trail is the Advanced Trail?
Write your answer as a decimal.
To find how many times as long the Advanced Trail is compared to the Beginner's Trail, we need to multiply the ratios together.
The Medium Trail is 1.2 times as long as the Beginner's Trail.
The Advanced Trail is 3.6 times as long as the Medium Trail.
Starting with the Medium Trail to the Beginner's Trail ratio: 1.2 * 1 = 1.2
Then, multiplying the Advanced Trail to the Medium Trail ratio: 3.6 * 1.2 = 4.32
Therefore, the Advanced Trail is 4.32 times as long as the Beginner's Trail.
There are 7 over 8 cups of sugar in a canister in the kitchen. Ms Johnson used 1 over 2 of the sugar when she was preparing dessert for her daughter's birthday cake. How much sugar did she use?
To find out how much sugar Ms. Johnson used, we need to multiply the fraction representing the amount she used (1/2) with the total amount of sugar in the canister (7/8).
To multiply fractions, we multiply the numerators together and the denominators together.
(1/2) * (7/8) = (1 * 7) / (2 * 8) = 7/16
Therefore, Ms. Johnson used 7/16 of a cup of sugar when preparing dessert for her daughter's birthday cake.
How much did Mr. Romanov pay for 9.3 gallons of gas at $3.30 a gallon?
To find out how much Mr. Romanov paid for the gas, we need to multiply the number of gallons (9.3) by the price per gallon ($3.30).
9.3 * $3.30 = $30.69
Therefore, Mr. Romanov paid $30.69 for 9.3 gallons of gas at $3.30 a gallon.
One-third of the campers at Rosewood Performing Arts Camp play an instrument. Two-fifths of those campers play the guitar. What fraction of the campers at Rosewood Performing Arts Camp play the guitar?
To find the fraction of campers at Rosewood Performing Arts Camp who play the guitar, we need to multiply the fraction of campers who play an instrument (1/3) by the fraction of instrument-playing campers who play the guitar (2/5).
(1/3) * (2/5) = 2/15
Therefore, 2/15 of the campers at Rosewood Performing Arts Camp play the guitar.
thank you

Sara discarded 1 over 10 of the 200 apples she picked as defective. The rest were sold as fresh fruit. How many apples picked were sold as fresh fruit?
190
180
9 over 10
20
To find out how many apples were sold as fresh fruit, we need to subtract the fraction of defective apples (1/10) from the total number of apples picked (200).
Total apples - Fraction of defective apples = Apples sold as fresh fruit
200 - (1/10) * 200 = 200 - 20 = 180
Therefore, 180 apples were sold as fresh fruit.
The town of Oak Manor measures 3.8 miles by 4.2 miles. Solve for the total area.
Use the formula for the area of a rectangle = length x width.
14.96 mi2
8 mi2
16 mi2
15.96 mi2
To find the total area of Oak Manor, we multiply the length (3.8 miles) by the width (4.2 miles):
Area = length x width
Area = 3.8 miles x 4.2 miles
Area = 15.96 square miles
Therefore, the total area of Oak Manor is 15.96 square miles.
A basketball player is 6 and 2 over 3 feet tall. His infant son is 1 over 4 as tall. How tall is his son?
2 and 2 over 3
2 and 1 over 6 ft
1 and 2 over 3
1 and 1 over 2 ft
To find the height of the basketball player's son, we need to multiply the height of the basketball player (6 and 2/3 feet) by the fraction representing the son's height (1/4).
(6 and 2/3) x (1/4) = (20/3) x (1/4) = 20/12 = 5/3 = 1 and 2/3 feet
Therefore, the son is 1 and 2/3 feet tall.
A diver searches for a sunken treasure that is 97.2 feet below the surface. What is the diver’s elevation when he is 2 over 3
of the way down
-145.8 ft
-48.5 ft
-32.4 ft
-64.8 ft
To determine the diver's elevation when they are 2/3 of the way down, we need to multiply the depth of the treasure (97.2 feet) by 2/3.
97.2 ft * 2/3 = 64.8 ft
However, since the diver is descending, their elevation will be negative. Therefore, the diver's elevation when they are 2/3 of the way down is -64.8 ft.
A diver descends at a rate of 8 m/min. Which expression CANNOT be used to find her depth after 5 minutes?
−8−8−8−8−8
−8 (5)
−8+(−8)+(−8)+(−8)+(−8)
-8 over 5
The expression that CANNOT be used to find the diver's depth after 5 minutes is -8 over 5.
This expression represents the rate of descent (-8 m/min) divided by the time in minutes (5), which would give the average depth per minute. However, it does not give the total depth after 5 minutes.
In September, a sporting goods store offers a kayak for $378. Over the next four months, the store reduced the price of the kayak $15 each month. What is the price of the kayak at the end of four months
$363
$228
$438
$318
To find the price of the kayak at the end of four months, we need to subtract $15 from the original price of $378 for each month (4 months in total).
$378 - ($15 x 4) = $378 - $60 = $318
Therefore, the price of the kayak at the end of four months is $318.

The answer is 7.
Divide −9 by 27
. Write the answer as a simplified fraction with the correct sign
To divide -9 by 27, we can simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD), which is 9.
-9 / 27 = -1/3
Therefore, the answer is -1/3.
Divide 11 by −4. Write the answer as a mixed number with the correct sign.
To divide 11 by -4, we will get a negative result since we are dividing a positive number by a negative number.
11 ÷ -4 = -2 remainder 3
Therefore, the answer is -2 and 3/4 as a mixed number.
What is the quotient of −91÷(−13)÷7
To find the quotient of −91÷(−13)÷7, we perform the divisions in order:
−91 ÷ (−13) = 7
7 ÷ 7 = 1
Therefore, the quotient of −91÷(−13)÷7 is 1.
What is the quotient of 72÷(4)÷(−6)?
To find the quotient of 72÷(4)÷(−6), we perform the divisions in order:
72 ÷ 4 = 18
18 ÷ (−6) = -3
Therefore, the quotient of 72÷(4)÷(−6) is -3.
Without calculating, which of the following quotients can you determine will be positive?
−725 ÷ (−29)
−111 ÷ 37
657 ÷ (−23)
1,001 ÷ (−143)
For a quotient to be positive, we need to have a positive number divided by a positive number, or a negative number divided by a negative number. In other words, the signs of the dividend and divisor need to be the same.
Based on the given options:
−725 ÷ (−29): This will be positive because a negative number divided by another negative number is positive.
−111 ÷ 37: This will be negative because a negative number divided by a positive number is negative.
657 ÷ (−23): This will be negative because a positive number divided by a negative number is negative.
1,001 ÷ (−143): This will be negative because a positive number divided by a negative number is negative.
Therefore,
