AnimalsAn armadillo sleeps 19

hours each day. Complete a function table and write an equation using two

variables to show the relationship between the

number of hours h an armadillo sleeps in d

days.

AnswerInput

Number of Days

Function Rule

Multiply by 19

OutputNumber of hours of

Sleep1 1 x 19 19

2 2 x 19 38

3 3 x 19 57

4 4 x 19 76

Equation

h = 19d

Botanist A botanist discovers that a certain

species of bamboo grows 4 inches each hour.

A. Write an equation using two

variables to show the relationship between the growth g in inches of this bamboo plant in h hours.

B. Use your equation to explain how to find the growth in inches of this species of bamboo after 6 hours.

Answers

A. g = 4h

B. 24 inches

PizzaA pizza shop sells 25 pizzas each hour.

At the same rate, find the number of

pizza sold after 1, 2, 3, and 4 hours.

Make a function table. Write an equation using two variables

to show the relationship between the

number of hours h and p the number of pizzas

sold.

Cell Phones►Verizon charges a customer $40 for

each month of service.►Write an equation using two variables

to show the relationship between the total amount charged c after m months of

service.►Use the equation to EXPLAIN how to

find the total cost for 6 months of cell phone service.

Answers c = 40m

$240 – Substitute m with 6 in the equation c = 40m.

Running►The average marathon running speed

is 5.5 miles per hour. Find the number of miles run after 1, 2, 3, and 4 hours at this rate.

►Make a function table to show the number of miles after 1, 2, 3, and 4 hours.

►Write an equation using two variables to show the relationship between the number of miles m and the h hours.
