The answer is a.
When you are solving problems like this you would use the equation y^2=4ax. The x and Y would be the coordinates. Based on the equation you have given the coordinates would be (6,12) and (6,-12), (24 is split up evenly between the y-axis).  
Then we go on to solve the equation by plugging in the numbers 12^2=4a(6)
144=24a
144/24=24a/24
6=a

Ruby frosted 8 cookies in 20 minutes. At this rate how<br> many cookies could she frost in 2 hours?
svlad2 [7]
We know that an hour has 60 minutes. She took 20 minutes to do one batch so we can see how many batches she makes with dividing 60 by 20. This would give us 3 batches per hour. Now we know she makes 8 frosted cookies per 20 minutes so we multiply 8 by 6 (2 hours as 20 min) and it would give us 48 frosted cookies
