Item #3 Shelbi needs wooden boards to build a platform. Each board is shaped like a rectangular prism and has a length of 2 meters, a height of 40 millimeters, and a width of 100 millimeters, as shown below.

To build the platform, Shelbi will place the boards side by side, as shown in this diagram. The platform will have a total width of 12 meters.

What is the least number of boards that Shelbi needs to build the platform?

Item #5

The value of y is proportional to the value of x. The constant of proportionality for this relationship is 2. On the grid below, graph this proportional relationship.

Create two points by clicking on the intersections of the gridlines. When you create the second point, a line will automatically be drawn through the two points. If you make a mistake, use the Clear button to begin again. Grade Primary Claim(s) Secondary Claim(s) Primary Content Domain Secondary Content Domain(s) Standard Cluster Heading(s)

Item #6 Cost of Owning and Caring for a Pet Part A Enter the list of pet items and costs you created yesterday, including the initial cost to buy or adopt your pet. Based on your research, estimate the cost of adopting and maintaining a pet (dog, cat, hamster, parakeet) for one year. You may click on the links to the Web pages you looked at yesterday to help you revise or adjust your list in order to determine the cost for an entire year. Part B What do you estimate the cost of adopting and maintaining a pet (dog, cat, hamster, parakeet) for one year is? Provide a thorough explanation below that proves you have thought of all the costs associated with owning your choice of pet. Be sure to account for all one-time costs, as well as recurring costs and the frequency of those costs. Next, support your answer by using the line graph tool to create a line graph that shows the months of the year and the total amount of money you have spent on your pet through the end of each month. Your graph should show how the amount of money you have spent increases over time.

Part C Estimate the cost of maintaining your pet (dog, cat, hamster, parakeet) for one additional year after the first. Again, provide a thorough explanation below that proves you have thought of all the costs associated with owning your choice of pet for one additional year. Part D Write a linear equation that best fits the total cost of adopting and maintaining your pet for a given number of months. Assume that your pet will not need to go to the veterinarian throughout this time. Explain how you created your model equation. Be sure to describe what the variables represent and how you determined the slope and intercept for your equation.
