A pile of sand is shaped like a cone with a height of 4 feet and a base diameter of 13 feet. Each cubic foot of sand weighs 90 pounds. Does the pile of sand weigh more than a ton (2000 pounds)? Explain how you know.

Data from 2005 for various age groups show that for each $100 increase in the median weekly income for whites, the median weekly income of blacks increases by $105. also, for workers of ages 25 to 54 the median weekly income for whites was $676 and for blacks was $527. (a) let w represent the median weekly income for whites and b the median weekly income for blacks, and write the equation of the line that gives b as a linear function of w. b = (b) when the median weekly income for whites is $760, what does the equation in (a) predict for the median weekly income for blacks?
