Warm Up 1) Marcy, Rachel, and Tina went bowling. Marcy bowled 100 less than twice Rachel’s score. Tina bowled 40 more than Rachel’s score. Rachel bowled a higher score than Marcy. What is the greatest score that Tina could have bowled? 2) Max can type 40 words per minute. He estimates that his term paper contains about 5000 words, and he takes a 15-minute break for every 45 minutes of typing. About how much time will it take Max to type his term paper? CONFIDENTIAL

Volume of Prisms and Cylinders
The volume of a three-dimensional figure is the number of nonoverlapping unit cubes of a given size that will exactly fill the interior. A cube built out of 27 unit cubes has a volume of 27 cubic units. Next Page: CONFIDENTIAL
