(Props to Bruce for posting so promptly...he beat me to the chase.)
Here is the problem I would like you to do in your notebook for Monday:
In 1870, the steamboats Robert E. Lee and Natchez raced from New Orleans to St. Louis, a distance of approximately 1,218 miles. The Robert E. Lee’s average speed was approximately 20 miles per hour. Create a table of values to calculate the Robert E. Lee’s approximate distance from St. Louis each hour after leaving New Orleans. Your table should have three columns, labeled "hours of racing," "calculation and pattern," and "remaining distance (miles)." Use your table to write an expression to represent its remaining distance after each hour, and then plot the points on a graph.
Good luck! Enjoy your weekend - and your homework! :)

this is just like the guided example, when we used the tooth picks.
