Using Models Use the model given to answer the questions about the object or process being modeled. The distance $d$ (in mi) driven by a car traveling at a speed of $v$ miles per hour for $t$ hours is given by $$d=v t$$ If the car is driven at 70 milh for 3.5 $\mathrm{h}$ , how far has it traveled?

Using Models Use the model given to answer the questions about the object or process being modeled. Arizonans use an average of 40 gal of water per person each day. The number of gallons $W$ of water used by $x$ Arizonans each day is modeled by $W=40 x$ . (a) Make a table that gives the number of gallons of water used for each $1000-$ person change in population, from 0 to $5000 .$ (b) If the pressure is $30 \mathrm{lb} / \mathrm{in}^{2},$ what is the depth? (b) What is the population of an Arizona town whose water usage is $120,000$ gal per day?

Using Models Use the model given to answer the questions about the object or process being modeled. The portion of a floating iceberg that is below the water sur- face is much larger than the portion above the surface. The total volume $V$ of an iceberg is modeled by $$V=9.5 S$$ where $S$ is the volume showing above the surface. (a) Find the total volume of an iceberg if the volume show- ing above the surface is 4 $\mathrm{km}^{3}$ . (b) Find the volume showing above the surface for an ice- berg with total volume 19 $\mathrm{km}^{3}$ .
