Write a real world problem that could be modeled by a linear function whose x-intercept is 5 and y-intercept is 60.

The y-intercept is 60 so say you start with 60 apples. And the x-intercept is 5 so lets say you eat them all in 5 days. So the equation would look somthing like this and would end up having a word problem that says somthing like "Jimmy has 60 apples and eats 12 a day how many days go by before Jonny has no more apples ?"

When rates are expressed as a quantity of 1, such as 2 feet per second or 5 miles per hour, they are called unit rates. if you have a multiple-unit rate such as 120 students for every 3 buses, and want to find the single-unit rate, write a ratio equal to the multiple-unit rate with 1 as the second term.
