UNIT 1 Enrichment WORKSHEET 2 - Graphing and Equations

1. Your job is to refill the gasoline tanks at gas stations. The underground tank you are filling has a capacity of 8000 gallons. You decided that you wanted to know how fast your pump could fill the tank, so you every once in a while you recorded the volume of gasoline in the tank. elow is the data table you recorded. Time !min" #olume !gal" $ $000 % $&00 8 '$00 1$ (000 1% (&00 $0 %&00 $) )000

*reate a graph of volume versus time. +on,t forget to label and scale your graph.

$. -rite a sentence describing the relationship between volume and time. '. -hat is the general e.uation of a line/

(. 0eplace the 121 and the 1y1 in your basic math e.uation in .uestion 3' with the names of the variables you graphed.

10. 0e7write the e.uation of the line using the real variables and making sure your numbers have units.

11. 9se this e.uation to determine how long it would take to completely fill the tank. :how work.

1$. 9sing either your e.uation or your graph, determine what .uantity of gasoline was in the tank after you had been filling it for 10 minutes. <2plain how you got your answer.
