5 packages. 4 is one cupcake short.

If she wants to give each student a cupcake, the amount of cupcakes she will need is 25.

To find out how many packages is needed, we can divide the amount of cupcakes needed by the number of cupcakes in a package:

25÷6
=4.16...

Or by long division, you will get 4...1 .

We can see that the number is not divisible,which means 4 is the closest number,but it cannot satisfy the need of giving each student a cupcake.

If long division is used,you can find that if she buy 4 packages(4×6=24), a student would not get the cupcake.

In this case,we have to add 1 package to the answer, in order to have sufficient amount of cupcakes for each students.

Therefore, the total amount of packages needed is 4+1=5.

The answer is 5 packages.

Hope it helps!

Find the area of the triangle enclosed by these lines with the following vertices. y = x, x = 0, y = 5 (0,0), (0,5), (5,5)

Lina20 [59]

The are of the triangle will be 12.5 units.

On marking the given vertices (0,0), (0,5), (5,5) of the triangle we get, the base of the triangle = 5 units and height of the triangle = 5 units.

Now, we know area of triangle = $\frac{Base * Height}{2} \\ \\ = \frac{5 *5}{2} \\ \\ = \frac{25}{2} \\ \\ = 12.5 units.$
