For our portfolio, we were given four options. I chose to do a desmos. In this desmos, we were tasked with predicting where two cars would meet.

First we were not given a number line, or the speed at which the cars were moving and were forced to make an educated guess.

Next, we were given the amount that it traveled after 4 seconds, and a number line.

After making our predictions, we were given the answer.

The answer was 50.

In this activity, I learned how to use inequalities in real-life situations. I made some mistakes in my estimating, mostly because I didn’t create an equation at first and I just counted where they would be after every second. After creating the equation, I was able to easily figure it out. If I did this activity again, I would create an equation first for my estimating. I enjoyed the activity.
