On several evenings last summer, Marisol counted the number of cricket chirps she heard in a minute and recorded the temperature of her surroundings in degrees Fahrenheit. The data she collected are displayed on the scatterplot shown. With the aid of technology, Marisol drew a best-fit line on the scatter plot and used it to predict temperatures based on chirps per minute. To the nearest degree Fahrenheit, what temperature will Marisol expect on an evening when 125 cricket chirps per minute can be heard? HINT: make a table and use the spreadsheet to graph the line, then find 125 on the table or using the spider.

Answer explanation

Make a table, and use spreadsheet to find the answer.
