Days Food Consumed 0-0.0 1.-1.0 2-3.2 3-6.5 4-10.6 5-15.4 How much will be eaten on day 6 and day 7?
+130511 This isn't a perfectly linear relatioship....using a line of "best fit" calculator to model the data in a linear fashion as closely as possible, we have
y = 3.117143x - 1.676190
y = 3.117143(6) - 1.676190 ≈ 17.03 on Day 6
y = 3.117143(7) - 1.676190 ≈ 20.14 on Day 7
There may be other functions that will fit the data more closely - (perhaps a polynomial?? ).....but I'm not sure......
