Crickets can help determine the temperature, in degrees Celsius. One possible way to make this calculation is to follow the steps below.
Step 1: Count the number of chirps in \(25\) seconds.
Step 2: Divide the number from Step 1 by \(3\).
Step 3: Add \(4\) to the number from Step 2.
By filling in each \(\underline{\ \ \ \ \ }\) in the following equation with either a variable or a number, write an equation to show how to get the temperature, \(t\), based on a certain number of chirps, \(c\), in \(25\) seconds. \[t = \underline{\ \ \ \ \ }\div \underline{\ \ \ \ \ }+\underline{\ \ \ \ \ }\]
Fill in the second column of the following table.
Chirps (\(c\)) in \(25\) seconds | Temperature (\(t\)) in degrees Celsius |
---|---|
\(60\) | |
\(54\) | |
\(66\) |
Fill in the first column of the following table.
Chirps (\(c\)) in \(25\) seconds | Temperature (\(t\)) in degrees Celsius |
---|---|
\(18\) | |
\(20\) | |
\(16\) |
