FIND THE MASS OF EACH OBJECT This problem deals with 1 bag of oranges (represented by O), 4 pineapples (P), and 1 watermelon(W). Use the clues in the table to find the mass of each object. For example, using the first row we know that the combined mass of the oranges, pineapples, and watermelon is17 kg. Use the other rows and columns to get more clues. Write an algebraic sentence to represent each relationship (e.g., O 1 P 1 W 5 17). Explain how you solved the problem.

Instructions Chris had some loafs of bread, cans of soup, and some boxes of cereal. He put 1 can of soup into the bag, and then added more items. When he was done, the total mass was between 900 grams and 1 kilogram. What could be in the bag? Find as many different answers as you can!

“Put Em in the Bag!” 105 g 425 g 570 g

Extension! Using the same scenario stated previously, try to answer these questions What if 1 can of soup is not required? How could we double the number of combinations? Add in cookies at 275g? Change the weight range to 1200g – 1400g, how many combinations work now?

Back to Back Draw three circles vertically one on top of the next with the bottom circle having a diameter of 8 cm the middle circle having a diameter of 4 cm and the top circle having a diameter of 2 cm On top of the 2 cm circle draw two horizontal parallel lines approximately 4 cm in length. Join the the lines with two perpendicular lines at the ends On top of the top parallel line draw a quadrilateral with four congruent sides 2 cm each with four 90 degree angles.
