<span>Here is a step by step process of how to do the paper and pencil solution:1.  Prepare a scatter plot of the data on graph paper.2.  Using a strand of spaghetti, position the spaghetti so that the plotted points are as close to the strand as possible.

3.  Find two points that you think will be on the "best-fit" line.  

<span>4.  </span>We are choosing the points (9, 260) and (30, 530).  
You may choose different points. 5.  Calculate the slope of the line through your two points (rounded to three decimal places).6.  Write the equation of the line. 7.  This equation can now be used to predict information that was not plotted in the scatter plot.

Samantha has 124 ft of yarn. She wants to cut the yarn into equal pieces to give 17 students. How much yarn will she give each s
xenn [34]
She can give 7.29 ft or 7.3 ft of yarn to her 17 students given that the total measurement of the yarn is 124 ft.

solution:

124ft/17students   - the operation used is division, dived 124ft w/c is the                                        measurement of the yarn by 17 students. 
7.294117647058824 - simplify the answer by rounding it off, at least one or                                       two decimal points; making it 7.29 ft or 7.3ft
