The greatest number of packages of baked items that can be sold is 10

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that there are 50 cupcakes and 160 cookies to be sold at the school bake sale

To find: greatest number of packages of baked items that can be sold

Each package has the same number of cupcakes and same number of cookies with none left over

So, we have to find the greatest common factor of 50 and 160

The greatest number that is a factor of two (or more) other numbers.

When we find all the factors of two or more numbers, and some factors are the same ("common"), then the largest of those common factors is the Greatest Common Factor.

<em><u>Greatest common factor of 50 and 160:</u></em>

The factors of 50 are: 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50

The factors of 160 are: 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, 32, 40, 80, 160

Then the greatest common factor is 10

So the greatest number of packages sold is 10

<em><u>Each package will contain:</u></em>

Given that there 50 cupcakes and 160 cookies

<em><u>Number of cupcakes in 1 package:</u></em>

\rightarrow \frac{50}{10} = 5

<u><em>Number of cookies in 1 package:</em></u>

\rightarrow \frac{160}{10} = 16

So each package has the same number of cupcakes and same number of cookies with none left over

Find the average rate of change of the function from <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x_%7B1%7D" id="TexFormula1" title="x_{1}"
meriva

Hi there!

\large\boxed{\text{Average rate} = 2}

Use the following equation to solve:

\text{Average rate} = \frac{f(x_{2}) - f(x_{1})}{x_{2} - x_{1}}

Solve for the y-values of the equation at the given x values:

f(1) = 1² - 4(1) + 10 = 7

f(5) = 5² - 4(5) + 10 = 15

Plug  the solved values into the equation:

\text{Average rate} = \frac{15 - 7}{5-1}

Simplify:

\text{Average rate} = \frac{8}{4} = 2

Answer:

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

The line of reflection would be at x=3. It’s like a mirror.  The reflection is backward, but the same distance from the line of reflection, so the line needs to be halfway between the two shapes.  Since C is at 4 and C’ is at 2, the line of reflection has to be at 3.
