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!

Maxine types 294 words in seven minutes how many words does Maxine type in 11 minutes

Inga [223]

First we find the unit rate which would be how many words in 1 minute...

294/7 = 294 ÷ = 42 wpm

Now we multiply by how many minutes to find the total...

42 wpm × 11 min = 462 words.

A sign at a bakery show s8 cookies for $10 and 12 cookies for $16. Find the unit price to the nearest cent (hundtreth) for each

Alja [10]

Answer:

8 cookies: 1 cookie =$1.25

12 cookies: 1 cookie =$1.33

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for price per unit is : $\frac{price}{unit}$

Lets first work out the price per unit for the 8 cookies. You can do this by dividing the price of 10 by the amount of 8, this gives you $1.25. This means that the price per cookie is $1.25.

Now to work out the price per cookie for 12 cookies. You can do this by dividing the price of 16 by the amount of 12, this gives you $1.33. This means that the price per cookie for this offer is $1.33.

1) Divide 10 by 8.

$10/8=1.25$

2) Divide 16 by 12.

$16/12=1.33$

I don't know how doing this

Slope intercept form - y = m(x) + b. m represents slope, b represents the y-intercept. You should be able to plug in any value for y and x into the equation, and it should result in a true statement.

The y-intercept is easy to find. It is the point where X is equal to zero and the graph line crosses through the y axis. In this case, y intersects at -2. Since we insert the y intercept at b, we can go ahead and plug it in there.

y = m(x) + b > y = m(x) - 2

Since there is only one option with the y intercept equalling -2, you can go ahead and pick D) y = -x - 2 as your answer, since no other options have the correct y-intercept.
