PI Day pies clearification

I'm sorry about the mixed instruction about when to bring the pies. The PI Day celebration is on Friday the 16th and all pies should be brought in on that morning.

Also, all pie do not need to be diabetic freindly.  If yours is we just need to know so we can get it to the right people.

Homework Due Friday 3.08

1)  An airplane is descending into DIA.  At 12:00 noon the airplane was at an altitude of 20,280 ft.  It descends at a rate of 2,500 ft per minute.

Part A:
Make a table, graph and equation for this situation. The table and graph should show times from 12:00p.m.to 12:10p.m

Part B:
If the runway at DIA is at an altitude of 5280 ft, then at what time will the airplane touch the ground?

2)  If I toss three coins at one time what are the odds of having exactly two heads?

3)  Taylor Swift's tour bus gets 13 miles to the gallon if it drives at 55 miles per hour.  The price of gas on the road is $3.45.  Taylor is driving from LA (after her date with Tim Tebow) to Les Vegas which is a total distance of 250 miles.  After her show in Vegas, Swift hears that Tebow has dinner with Lindsey Lohan so Taylor, in a jealous fit of rage, drives her tour bus back to LA at a speed of 95 miles per hour (don't worry all you Swift fans, the feds give her a police escort the whole way).  At that speed the bus gets 8 miles per gallon.

Part A:
How much time does Taylor spend driving in her bus each way?

Part B:
How much money does she spend on gas each way?
(Hint: how many gallons does she use each way?)

Part C:
What is the ratio of time saved to extra money spend for her frantic trip back to LA?

4) Who really cares about Swift anyway?

Homework due on tuesday 3/5

When I was a middle schooler I wanted to be a fighter pilot, so here is my middle school dream job question. Enjoy.

1) The Boeing 767 flies at a cruising speed of 520 miles per hour.  The speed of sound is approximately 760 miles per hour.  The mach scale is a ratio that is used to express speed.  Mach 1 is the speed of sound and mach 2 is twice the speed of sound.  What is the speed of a 767 in the mach scale?

2) The fastest plane is NASA's x-43a.  It can fly at mach 9.6 (so cool I know).  What is the speed of the x-43a in miles per hour?

3) If New York and San Fransisco are about 5,000 mile apart, then how long will it take each plane to fly from NY to SF (excluding time to take off and land).

4)
