Problem Solving Strategies and Models By Tristen Billerbeck
Using Formulas A cheetah can run 4miles in 3 minutes. How fast does the cheetah run in mph (miles per hour)? (4miles) = (3 minutes) (4miles) (60minutes) = (3 minutes)(1 hour) 80 mph
Looking for Patterns What is the pattern? Time in Minutes: 0 1 2 3 4 Distance in Feet: 1500 1250 1000 750 500 It drops 250 feet per minute. y = 1500 – 250t = -250t +1500 What is the value after 5 minutes? 250 feet
Looking for Patterns What is the pattern? Time in Minutes: 0 1 2 3 4 Gallons: 30 60 90 120 150 It increases by 30 per minute. y = 30(t + 1) = 30t + 30 What is the value after 5 minutes? 180 gallons
