P + r = 2.50
r = p + 1

p + p + 1 = 2.50
2p + 1 = 2.50
2p = 2.50 - 1
2p = 1.50
p = 1.50/2
p = 0.75 <=== pencil cost 75 cents

r = p + 1
r = 0.75 + 1
r = 1.75 .....ruler cost 1.75

Answer:

There are 13 pieces of pie left.

Step-by-step explanation:

So there are 3 pieces of apple pie left, there are 4 pieces of cherry pie left, and there are 6 pieces of pumpkin pie left. 3 + 4 + 6 = 13.

3/8 = 3 pieces because each fraction in this one equals one piece. So the numerator is how many left.

1/2= 4 because you just divide 8 by 2.

3/4 = 2 because you can multiply the fraction by 2 and get 6/8. Then the numerator is how many that's left.

I hope I helped.

Answer: 29.2

Step-by-step explanation:

The lengths of the two longer legs are both $\sqrt{8^2 + 4^2}=\sqrt{80}$

The lengths of the two shorter legs are both $\sqrt{4^2+4^{2}}=\sqrt{32}$

So $P=2\sqrt{80}+2\sqrt{32} \approx 29.2$
