  1. Draw a graph with two lines that represent the bike rides of Lin and Andre. 
  2. For each line, highlight the point with coordinates $(1,k)$ and find $k$.
  3. Who was biking faster?

Lesson 13

Problem 1

At the supermarket you can fill your own honey bear container. A customer buys 12 oz of honey for \$5.40.

  1. How much does honey cost per ounce?
  2. How much honey can you buy per dollar?
  3. Write two different equations that represent this situation. Use $h$ for ounces of honey and $c$ for cost in dollars.

A blank set of coordinate axes.

  1. Choose one of your equations, and sketch its graph. Be sure to label the axes. 

Problem 2

The point $(3, \frac65)$ lies on the graph representing a proportional relationship. Which of the following points also lie on the same graph? Select all that apply.

  1. $(1, 0.4)$
  2. $(1.5, \frac{6}{10})$
  3. $(\frac65, 3)$
  4. $(4, \frac{11}{5})$
  5. $(15, 6)$

Problem 3

A trail mix recipe asks for 4 cups of raisins for every 6 cups of peanuts. There is proportional relationship between the amount of raisins, $r$ (cups), and the amount of peanuts, $p$ (cups), in this recipe. 

  1. Write the equation for the relationship that has constant of proportionality greater than 1. Graph the relationship.
  2. Write the equation for the relationship that has constant of proportionality less than 1. Graph the relationship.

Problem 4 (from Unit 2, Lesson 11)

Here is a graph that represents a proportional relationship.

  1. Come up with a situation that could be represented by this graph.
  2. Label the axes with the quantities in your situation.
  3. Give the graph a title.
  4. Choose a point on the graph. What do the coordinates represent in your situation?

A line is graphed in the coordinate plane with the origin labeled “O”. The x axis has the numbers 0 through 20, in increments of 2, indicated. The y axis has the numbers 0 through 20, in increments of 2, indicated. The line begins at the origin. It moves gradually upward and to the right passing through the point with coordinates 8 comma 6. There is also a point indicated on the line and the coordinates of that point have integer values.

Lesson 14

Problem 1

The equation $c = 2.95g$ shows how much it costs to buy gas at a gas station on a certain day. In the equation, $c$ represents the cost in dollars, and $g$ represents how many gallons of gas were purchased.

  1. Write down at least four (gallons of gas, cost) pairs that fit this relationship.
  2. Create a graph of the relationship.
  3. What does 2.95 represent in this situation?
  4. Jada’s mom remarks, “You can get about a third of a gallon of gas for a dollar.” Is she correct? How did she come up with that?

Problem 2

There is a proportional relationship between a volume measured in cups and the same volume measured in tablespoons. 3 cups is equivalent to 48 tablespoons, as shown in the graph.

  1. Plot and label at least two more points that represent the relationship.
  2. Use a straightedge to draw a line that represents this proportional relationship.
  3. For which value y is ($1, y$) on the line you just drew?
  4. What is the constant of proportionality for this relationship?
  5. Write an equation representing this relationship. Use $c$ for cups and $t$ for tablespoons.
A point plotted in the coordinate plane with the origin labeled “O”. The horizontal axis is labeled “volume in cups” and the numbers 0 through 6 are indicated. The vertical axis is labeled “volume in tablespoons” and the numbers 0 through 70, in increments of 10, are indicated. There are four evenly spaced horizontal gridlines between each number indicated. The point with coordinates 3 comma 48 is indicated.
