1. ESTIMATE THE NUMBER OF GALLONS REQUIRED TO PRODUCE 22 T SHIRTS. IS YOUR ESTIMATE AN OVERESTIMATE OR UNDERESTIMATE? EXPLAIN.
2. HOW MANY GALLONS OF WATER ARE REQUIRED TO PRODUCE 15 POUNDS OF CHOCOLATE? WRITE AND SOLVE AN EQUATION. LET 'g' BE THE NUMBER OF GALLONS.
(hidden water cost/ 1 pound of chocolate = 3,170 gal - 1 ream of paper = 1,321 gal -1 gallon of milk = 880 gal - 1 cotton t-shirt = 713 gal - 1 hamburger = 660 gal)
3. Extension : The owner of a company has a goal to reduce the company's water footprint by 100,000 gallons in one year. He estimates that if the company reduces its yearly need for paper by 80 reams, he will meet his goal. Could the owner have estimated correctly? Justify your answer.
