Tami noticed that she had a lot of birds in her backyard and decided to build a bird feeder. She did not know what kind of food the birds would like, so she bought three types of food. Each morning at 8:00 a.m. Tami put the same amount of each food in three if the same type and size of cups next to each other on a bench under a tree. At 6:00 p.m. each night, she would measure how much food was eaten. Tami completed three trials, and kept the data in a chart. She then made the following graph. What were the constants?
Type of bird seed
How much of each type of seed was eaten
Time, amount of food, cups, placement of food
The chart and graph
