The math club must sell 50 pies in order to reach the goal of 200 dollars
The slope of the line can be defined as y = mx + b, where m is the slope
To find the slope, one will need to use the expression Δy/Δx (y final - y initial)/(x final - x initial)
For this problem, that equals 1/3
Now we will use the point slope form
(y - y initial) = m (x - x initial):
y + 1 = 1/3 (x - 2)
y = 1/3x - 5/3
29 ÷ 12 = 2.41667
Your answer is 2.4 feet
Like all problems that involve images within the question, we should definitely try to draw this out. In the picture above, I have done this.
Now, we can see that this is just a simple proportion problem. For every 2.5 cm of height of the flower, we are 2 cm from the opening, or aperture. For every 20 cm of height, how far are we? We can set up the problem like this:
20 ............2.5
-------- = ---------
...x ............. 2
where x is the unknown distance to the aperture from the flower. Now, we just need to get x by itself. A typical way of solving something like this is by doing "butterfly multiplication" which is really just a shortcut haha. Anyway, I can rewrite that equation ^ as:
20×2 = 2.5 × x
Then, to solve for x, we would divide both sides by 2.5. (If you don't know why that is, please let me know and I'll elaborate).
We would then have:
20×2
------- = x
2.5
Which then simplifies to:
x = 16
Try using the same logic for your second question, and if you get stuck, I'd be happy to help! please let me know if any of this doesn't make sense. :)

Mark me as brainlist
Step-by-step explanation:
P = Perimeter
L = Length
W = Width
Perimeter of rectangle = L + L + W + W
or P = 2L + 2W
You know:
P = 36 inches
L = 2W [length is(=) 2 times it's width]
W = ?
P = 2L + 2W
Substitute/plug in what you know, plug in 2W for L since L = 2W
36 = 2(2W) + 2W Simplify
36 = 4W + 2W
36 = 6W Divide 6 on both sides
6 = W Now that you know the width, you can find the length:
L = 2W
L = 2(6)
L = 12
L = 12 in
W = 6 in
PROOF
P = 2(12) + 2(6)
P = 24 + 12
P = 36
