1.  a pump removes 1000 gal of water from a pool at a constant rate of 50 gal/min.
write an equation to find the amount of water Y in the pool after T minutes.

2. there are 2 leaves along 3in of an ivy vine. there are 14 leaves along 15in of the same vine. How many leaves are there along 6in of the vine?

3. for the situation find a linear model and use it to make a prediction.
there are 55 blades of grass in 1in. squared
of lawn. There 230 blades of grass in 4 in squared of the same lawn. how many blades of grass are in 3in of lawn?

2. 2/3 = x/6, 3x = 12, x = 4

3. 55/1 = x/3, x = 165

Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.
Burn the heretic. Kill the mutant. Purge the unclean.
Pain is an illusion of the senses; despair is an illusion of the mind.
Life is a prison, death a release.
