Growing Cabbages In the short growing season of the Canadian arctic territory of Nunavut, some gardeners find it possible to grow gigantic cabbages in the midnight sun. Assume that the final size of a cabbage is proportional to the amount of nutrients it receives and inversely proportional to the number of other cabbages surrounding it. A cabbage that received 20 oz of nutrients and had 12 other cabbages around it grew to 30 lb. What size would it grow to if it received 10 oz of nutrients and had only 5 cabbage "neighbors"?

A road sweeping truck travels at 10mph when sweeping. Suppose a township in the suburbs has 75 miles of road that need sweeping and one sweeping truck. If the utilization of the truck is 80% (accounting for stops and routing to cover all roads), how long will it take to complete the sweeping?
Question 2 and 3
People who live in Cape Carmel major reasons for their worry is that there are many homes built at, or nearly at, sea level along the coast of Cape Carmel. The total value of these homes is more than 100 million dollars. Ice melting increases the sea level. Global sea level is measured relative to the sea level in the year 1870. If the sea level in 1870 is represented by 0 inches, then Cape Carmel sea level has risen from 1 6.8 inches to 8.4 inches in the years from 1992 to 2012. If the sea level rises to 24 inches, it will have devastating effects on the homes along the coast of Cape Carmel. Many of the Cape Carmel residents want to know if, and when, they should sell their property before it is washed away into the sea. You must help residents understand more about the rising sea level in Cape Carmel to help them predict when they should sell their homes. 11.Create a graph (carefully scaled by hand, or on Excel) that shows BOTH the linear and the exponential model over ALL of the…
