The current ranch has 5 horses and 1 dog. Mr. Hart uses dogs to help corral the horses, so he would like to keep the same relationship between horses and dogs. Use the equation // h = // 3 // d + // 2 to make a table showing the relationship between horses and dogs given 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 dogs. Explain the rule for the pattern in the table.

Ans: The rule for the pattern in the table is: h= 3d + 2 so you have to make a T-table like this:

-> D | H 1 | 5 2 | 8 3 | 11 <span style="color: #19345c; font-family: 'trebuchet ms',helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 27px;">4 | 14 <span style="color: #19345c; font-family: 'trebuchet ms',helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 27px;">5 | 17 <span style="color: #19345c; font-family: 'trebuchet ms',helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 27px;">6 | 20 <span style="color: #19345c; font-family: 'trebuchet ms',helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 27px;">7 | 23 <span style="color: #19345c; font-family: 'trebuchet ms',helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 27px;">8 | 26 <span style="color: #19345c; font-family: 'trebuchet ms',helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 27px;">February 22, 2012 <span style="color: #19345c; font-family: 'trebuchet ms',helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 27px;">Is there a relationship between addition & subtraction and the relationship between multiplication & division? Explain. <span style="color: #19345c; font-family: 'trebuchet ms',helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 27px;">Yes there is. The relationship is that it doesn't matter the order of numbers you will get the same answer.
