15. Example 1-1a SPENDING A can of soda holds 12 fluid ounces. A 2-liter bottle holds about 67 fluid ounces. If a pack of six cans costs the same as a 2-liter bottle, which is the better buy? PlanHow do the facts relate to each other? Capacity Cost A can = 12 ounces A 2-Liter Bottle = 67 ounces 6 cans = 1 2-liter bottle 1/1

16. Example 1-1a SPENDING A can of soda holds 12 fluid ounces. A 2-liter bottle holds about 67 fluid ounces. If a pack of six cans costs the same as a 2-liter bottle, which is the better buy? Capacity Cost A can = 12 ounces A 2-Liter Bottle = 67 ounces 6 cans = 1 2-liter bottle PlanHow are we going to solve the problem? Find out how many ounces are in 6 cans by multiplying 1/1

17. Example 1-1a SPENDING A can of soda holds 12 fluid ounces. A 2-liter bottle holds about 67 fluid ounces. If a pack of six cans costs the same as a 2-liter bottle, which is the better buy? Capacity Cost A can = 12 ounces A 2-Liter Bottle = 67 ounces 6 cans = 1 2-liter bottle 1 can = 12 so 6 cans is about 60 ounces PlanLet’s estimate our answer 1/1

18. Example 1-1a SPENDING A can of soda holds 12 fluid ounces. A 2-liter bottle holds about 67 fluid ounces. If a pack of six cans costs the same as a 2-liter bottle, which is the better buy? SolveUse your plan to add what you have to what you spent 6 cans = 6  12 ounces 6 cans = 72 ounces Since a 2-liter bottle = 67 ounces, you get more ounces with 6 cans Which is a better buy? 1/1

19. Example 1-1a SPENDING A can of soda holds 12 fluid ounces. A 2-liter bottle holds about 67 fluid ounces. If a pack of six cans costs the same as a 2-liter bottle, which is the better buy? ExamineIs the answer reasonable? Does the answer fit the facts given? Does the answer make sense? Answer: 6 cans is the better buy 1/1

20. Example 1-1d FIELD TRIP The sixth grade class at Meadow Middle School is taking a field trip to the local zoo. There will be 142 students plus 12 adults going on the trip. If each school bus can hold 48 people, how many buses will be needed for the field trip? Answer: 4 buses 1/1

22. Example 1-2a POPULATION For every 100,000 people in the United States, there are 5,750 radios. For every 100,000 people in Canada, there are 323 radios. Suppose Sheamus lives in Des Moines, Iowa and Alex lives in Windsor, Ontario. Both cities have about 200,000 residents. About how many more radios are there in Sheamus’s city than in Alex’s city? ExploreYou know the approximate number of radios per 100,000 people in both Sheamus’s city and Alex’s city.

23. Example 1-2b PlanYou can find the approximate number of radios in each city by multiplying the estimate per 100,000 people by two to get an estimate per 200,000 people. Then, subtract to find how many more radios there are in Des Moines than in Windsor. SolveDes Moines: 5,750  2 = 11,500 Windsor: 323  2 = 646 11,500 – 646 = 10,854 So, Des Moines has about 10,854 more radios than Windsor.

24. Example 1-2c ExamineBased on the information given in the problem, the answer seems to be reasonable. Answer: So, Des Moines has about 10,854 more radios than Windsor.

25. Example 1-2d READING Ben borrows a 500-page book from the library. On the first day, he reads 24 pages. On the second day, he reads 39 pages and on the third day he reads 54 pages. If Ben follows the same pattern of number of pages read for seven days, will he have finished the book at the end of the week?
