S = Speed
D = Distance
T = Time
S = D/T
S = 50m/1/2
50 divided by 1/2 = 25
25 = 50/1/2
S = 25 m/min.
The y-intercept is 50 and it tells how many chocolates he starts off with. The slop is -4 because that is how many chocolates he gives out each week. y=-4x+50
Answer:
2 24" X 24" square cakes are needed.
Step-by-step explanation:
This question is solved by proportions.
Area of a square:
The area of a square of side l is given by:

8" X 8" square cake serves 8 people
Thus:

Area of 64 serves 8 people, so for 1 people, an area of 64/8 = 8 is needed.
144 people
The total area needed is:

How many 24" X 24" square cakes?
24*24 = 576
1 cake - 576
x cakes - 1152
Applying cross multiplication:
1152/576 = 2
2 24" X 24" square cakes are needed.
