Mathematical modeling is about constructing one or two equations that represent real life situations. What are these math models used for? Give at least two equations that have practical applications. Example: The equation s=30 h + 1000 can be used to find your salary given the fact you earn a fixed salary of $1000 per month, plus $30 per hours. Here, s stands for your overall pay, and h denotes the number of hours you put in.

Mathematical modelings are used to represent the real problem situations in mathematical concepts. It is used in almost every field, natural sciences, engineering disciplines, social sciences etc.
Mathematical modeling is done by analyzing a problem, formulating it and computing solutions and hence validating the results.
It aids in describing various systems and the effects of various components, making predictions about behavior, making estimates about actual events, etc.
For examples:
1. Cost of taxi drive.
Suppose that for a taxi ride, there is a service charge of $9 and another charge of $0.25 per mile for the trip. If x is the number of miles travelled and y is the cost of the taxi ride, then the linear equation for the cost will be,
y=0.25 × 49
2. Dimensions of a plot.
The area of a rectangular plot is 1.00cm. The width of the plot is twice its length. Then, the dimensions of the plot can be obtained.
Consider l as the length of the plot and w as the width of the plot.
Next, w=2l and the following equation is formulated.
l × 2l=100 cm2
On solving the above equation, the dimensions of the plot can be obtained.
