3 Day 6: Equations Inequalities in the Real-World MAFS.912.A-CED.1.1 I CAN Write equations inequalities in one variable that represent real-world contexts. Problem Set Use the pictures below to answer questions Each square represents one tile, how many total tiles are in Step 5? Step 6? 2. What might you do to determine the number of tiles in Step 25? 3. Write a rule to predict the total number of tiles for any step. Show how your rule relates to the pattern. 4. Try to think of a different rule that you can use to predict the total number of tiles for any step. Show how your rule relates to the pattern. 5. Andrew also solved this problem came up with following equation:. How does each piece of his expression show up in the pattern? 6. Tami came up with the equation. How does each piece of her expression show up in the pattern? For the growing pattern below, each line segment is one unit in length. 7. How much total perimeter in Step 5? Step 6? (Remember to focus on the perimeter.) 8. How can you determine the amount of perimeter in Step 25? 9. Write a rule to predict the total amount of perimeter for any step. Show how your rule relates to the pattern. 10. Marsha also solved this problem came up with following expression: How does each piece of her expression show up in the pattern? 11. Tyler came up with the expression. How does each piece of his expression show up in the pattern? 1

4 Create an equation that describes each of the situations below, then solve. 12. The cost of a birthday party at Classic Boon is $200 plus $4 per person. The cost for Fletcher s party came to $324. How many people came to his party? 13. A cell phone company charges $55 per month for unlimited minutes plus $0.25 per text sent.

She is going to cut it into 12 slices sell them individually. She wants to sell it for three times the cost of making it. The ingredients cost $8.50, she allowed $1.25 to cover the cost of electricity to bake it. Find the values for each of the following questions: a. What is the amount Aly will charge for each slice of pie? b. What is the total amount she will gross if she sells the entire pie? c. What will be the profit if she sells the entire pie? Creating Solving Real-World Problems 15. Jade is stred downtown with only $10 to get home. Taxis cost $0.75 per mile, but there is an additional $2.35 hire charge. Write a formula use it to calculate how many miles she can travel with her money. 16. Jasmin s Dad is planning a surprise birthday party for her. He will hire a bouncy castle, will provide party food for all the guests. The bouncy castle costs $150 for the afternoon, the food will cost $3 per person. Andrew, Jasmin s Dad, has a budget of $300. Write an equation use it to determine the maximum number of guests he can invite. 17. When Asia was young her Daddy marked her height on the door frame every month. Asia s Daddy noticed that between the ages of one three, he could predict her height (in inches) by taking her age in months, adding 75inches multiplying the result by one-third. Use this information to determine the following a. Write an equation linking her predicted height, h, with her age in months, m. b. Determine her predicted height on her second birthday. c. Determine at what age she is predicted to reach three feet tall. 18. Kashmir needs to fence in his puppy. He will fence in three sides, connecting it to his back porch. He wants the run to be 12 feet long he has 40 feet of fencing. How wide can Kashmir make his puppy enclosure? 19. Karen Sarah have bank accounts. Karen has a starting balance of $ is depositing $20 each week. Sarah has a starting balance of $43 is depositing $37 each week. When will the girls have the same amount of money? 20.
