**3.1 Renting Bicycles** Big Idea: Observation and description of changes in the world around us are the first steps in finding and learning about patterns. Essential Question #3: How can I visually explain situations where one thing changes based on another? A: Which shop should Ocean and History bike tours use?Explain your choice. If there is 30 or less customers they should rent from Adrian's bike shop. If there were more than 35 customers they should rent from rocky's cycle center. B: Explain how you used the information in the table and the graph to make your decision. I compared the numbers and found out which was lower in each interval. Then I copied the information from the table and made it into a graph so it was easier to compare and understand. **Follow Up** 1. In the graph from Adrian's bike shop, would it make sense to connect the points with a line? Why or why not? It wouldn't make sense to connect the lines because it is not continuous. 2. How much do you think each company would charge to rent 32 bikes? Rock's would charge $975 Adrian's would charge $950 3.Look for Patterns on the graph and the table. For each display write the change in the data. In Rocky's it changes $135 per five bikes. In Adrian's it changes by $175 per five bikes. <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">4.How can you predict values that are not in the graph. <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">You follow the rule shown in rt 3. <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"> <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"> = ﻿Bike Rental =
