For an activity in class, students used pieces of string to measure roads on a map. They used a map scale to determine the distance between two cities. One group measured the distance between Fort Myers and Miami on a Florida state map. The string distance was 7.75 inches, which represents a real-life distance of about 155 miles. Another group measured the distance between Tampa and Orlando on the same map and found that distance to be 4.25 inches. What is the real-life distance to the nearest mile between Tampa and Orlando? a85 miles
b44 miles
c152 miles
d282 miles

Astudent is determining the influence of different types of food on the growth rate of spiders. she feeds one group of spiders two caterpillars twice a week. the other group received similarly-sized beetles twice a week. she records the amount of time required for individuals to reach sexual maturity. her hypothesis is that the spiders feeding on caterpillars will have a faster growth rate because caterpillars have a higher protein content compared to beetles. in this experiment, what is the dependent variable? spiders assigned to different feeding groups. time required to reach sexual maturity number of prey items fed twice a week. growth rates of each group.

33 ! use the following data to determine the type of function (linear, quadratic, exponential) that best fits the data set. (1, 2) (5, 7) (9, 8) (3, 4) (4, 5) (2, 3)
