Multiple Choice

How does Jada fill the aquarium according to the graph?

• Jada fills the aquarium by decreasing the water height over time.
• Jada fills the aquarium at a constant height without any change.
• Jada fills the aquarium by adding water only at the beginning.

Multiple Choice

What does the graph represent if the horizontal axis is time and the vertical axis is distance from school?

• The graph represents the time taken to reach school.
• The graph shows the speed of travel over time.
• The graph represents the distance from school over time.
• The graph indicates the number of students arriving at school over time.

Multiple Choice

Andre sets up a rain gauge to measure rainfall in his backyard. On Tuesday, it rains off and on all day. He starts at 10 a.m. with an empty gauge when it starts to rain. Two hours later, he checks, and the gauge has 2 cm of water in it. It starts raining even harder, and at 4 p.m., the rain stops, so Andre checks the rain gauge and finds it has 10 cm of water in it. While checking it, he accidentally knocks the rain gauge over and spills most of the water, leaving only 3 cm of water in the rain gauge. When he checks for the last time at 5 p.m., there is no change. Which of the two graphs could represent Andre’s story? Explain your reasoning.
