The Brownsville Bears soccer team drinks bottled water during their practices. This table shows the relationship between the lengths of 6 practices and how much water they drank.

Soccer practice

question

Mrs. Fuller is in charge of the cafeteria at Waterbury Elementary School. She made a table to show how many fifth graders bought lunch and how many packed a lunch each day for a week.

Fifth-grade lunches
Bought lunch	100	90	100	60	70
Packed lunch	10	20	15	50	60

Make a scatter plot to show the data.

solution

Each column in the table describes a day. The top number tells you how many fifth graders bought lunch, and the bottom number tells you how many fifth graders packed a lunch.

Fifth-grade lunches
Bought lunch	100	90	100	60	70
Packed lunch	10	20	15	50	60

Write an ordered pair for each day. The number of students who bought lunch goes on the

x-axis,

so put this number first. The number of students who packed a lunch goes on the

y-axis,

so put this number second.
