Exercises a-b. 6. CCSS Model with Mathematics Refer to the graphic novel frame below for SUPER SAVER SHOP $MART 24- Packs 12-Packs PRICE 4 for $10 BUSTERS Lemonade 12-Packs 2 for $9 3 for $9 Can we use ratios to find the best price? a. For each store, what is the ratio of the number of cans to the price? Super Saver: \frac{24}{\$5}; Shop Smart: \frac{16}{\$3}; Price Busters: \frac{4}{\$1} b. What would be the ratio of the number of cans to the price at Super Saver and Price Busters if a coupon for $1 off the total purchase is used? Super Saver: \frac{16}{\$3}; Price Busters: \frac{2}{\$2}

Step 1
For ShopSmart: Number of cans = 4 Price = $10 Ratio = $10/4 = $2.50 per can For Price Busters: Number of cans = 3 Price = $9 Ratio = $9/3 = $3.00 per can For Super Saver: Number of cans = 12 Show more…

(Modeling) Solve each problem. Give approximations to the nearest hundredth. See Example 5. Area of a Rectangular Region A farmer wishes to enclose a rectangular region bordering a river with fencing, as shown in the diagram. Suppose that $x$ represents the length of each of the three parallel pieces of fencing. She has $600 \mathrm{ft}$ of fencing available. (a) What is the length of the remaining piece of fencing in terms of $x ?$ (b) Determine a function $s l$ that represents the total area of the enclosed region. Give any restrictions on $x$ (c) What dimensions for the total enclosed region would give an area of $22,500 \mathrm{ft}^{2} ?$ (d) What is the maximum area that can be enclosed?

Solve the following problems applying Polya’s Four-Step Problem-Solving strategy. 1. In an apartment complex, there are 5 windows in each apartment, and 9 apartments in each floor. How many windows are there on 8 floors? 2. A bus route is 8 kilometers long. The bus does the route 6 times each day. How many miles will the bus drive in 6 days? (Hint: observe that the units are different.) 3. How many posts does it take to support a straight fence 200 meters long if a post is placed every 20 meters?
