It takes about 40 gallons of sap to produce one gallon of syrup." And "Suppose the sap is collected in gallon buckets that hang under each tap, and the maple season lasts one month? And "Read the label of a "pancake syrup" bottle to find out how much maple syru it contains." How many gallons of syrup did each tap yleld? How many gallons of sap did each tap yield? What extra information would you need ot estimate the number of sugar maple trees that were tapped? How many times a day (how often) will the buckets of sap need to be emptled? (What fraction of a bottle of generic "pancake syrup" is pure maple syrup?) What fraction of the cost of generic "pancake syrup" can you attribute to the cost of pure maple syrup?
