Writing: How many DVDs will Zach be able to rent before the $200 is spent? Explain how you found your answer.

Sample Answer: Zach could rent 50 DVDs. There is a pattern with the number of DVDs rented and the cost—each number of DVDs rented is multiplied by 4. Therefore, 50 * 4 = 200, which allows Zach to spend the entire $200 without going over his budget.

How does the order of

operations pertain to this

plant??!!

The Boojum Plant

It is a strange plant that is found in Baja, California. It was founded by Godfrey Sykes in 1922. He named it after a mythical creature in the poem “The Hunting of the Snark”. This creature was found in desolate, far away places. The name suits it quite well!

The Boojum Plant

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2318/2145881083_d46bb61fd8.jpg?v=0

A boojum is a very slow-growing cactus. One fifty-year-old boojum is 1.5 meters tall, and has been growing about 0.03 meter each year. Assume the same pattern keeps going.

There are 3.28084 feet in a meter.

2. How tall will the boojum be 50 years from now?

1. Write an expression for the height in meters of the boojum y years from now.

Variable Expression:1.5 + 0.03y

1.5 + 0.03y1.5 + 0.03(50)1.5 + 1.5 =3The boojum would grow 3 meters.

Remember your goal: You will be able to use the order of operations to evaluate numerical and variable expressions.
