Economists study the way society uses its resources. One important resource studied is agriculture. The recent increase in demand for organic produce has created some interesting economic scenarios for both farmers and consumers. Click the link to learn key facts about the economics of organic produce and answer a few questions. Which is a reason that organic farming is more expensive than conventional farming? How many years must a farm be run organically before its produce can be labeled as “organic”? Why do most small organic farms pay a higher percentage of their profit for farming equipment than conventional farms?

Ben participated in a race. During the first half of the race, he walked 3 miles and ran at a rate of 5 miles per hour for x hours. During the second half of the race, he walked for 2 miles and ran at a rate of 5.5 miles per hour for x hours. What equation could you write to solve for the number of hours Ben ran during each half of the race? Let y represent the number of miles in half the race. Write two equations, one for the first half of the race and one for the second half. How could you transform these two equations to be the same as the original equation you wrote to solve for x? What do you think this means about solving for the variables in a situation represented by two equations?

What are the steps for using a compass and straightedge to construct a square? Drag and drop the steps in order from start to finish. Use a straightedge to draw line a and label a point on the line as point P. Without changing the compass width, place the compass point on point S and draw an arc in the interior of ∠SPT . Use the straightedge to draw QS¯¯¯¯¯ and QT¯¯¯¯¯. Construct a line perpendicular to line a through point P. Label a point on this line as point R. With the compass open to the desired side length of the square, place the compass point on point P and draw an arc on line a and an arc on PR←→ . Label the points of intersection as points S and T. Keeping the same compass width, place the compass on point T and draw an arc in the interior of ∠SPT to intersect the previously drawn arc. Label the point of intersection as point Q.
