Biologists have found that the number of chirps some types of cricket make per minute depends upon the temperature this relation

ship can be represented by a linear function when the temperature is 60° Fahrenheit to crickets chirp 92 times per minute if it is 75 Fahrenheit they will chirp 152 times per minute what will the number of chirps be per minute if the temperature is 80 degrees Fahrenheit

Answer: Crickets make 172 chirps/min at 80 degrees Fahrenheit

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Using the point slope formulae for Linear functions , we have that

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

where x  and y are two points  representing the  temperature and chirps /min respectively

And  

m= slope

Step 2 : Finding the slope , m

where x1=60

           y1=92

           x2= 75

           y2=152

m= (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

= (152- 92)/(75-60)

=60/15 =4

Bringing down the point/slope formula and imputing the known values to find our equation to show the relationship cricket make per minute and  the temperature

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 92= 4(x - 60)

y - 92 = 4x -240

y = 4x - 240 + 92

y = 4x - 148

Step 3

To find the number of chirps be per minute (y) if the temperature is 80 degrees Fahrenheit( x)

y = 4(80) - 160

y = 320 - 148

y = 172 chirps/min at 80 degrees Fahrenheit

The glee club has 120 cupcakes to sell. they have decided to arrange the cupcakes in the shape of a rectangle such that the rows
DochEvi [55]
120 cupcakes
Even # rows
Odd # columns

12: 1, 2,3,4,6, 12 (integers?)

I see only one arrangement with odd column & even rows
3 columns, 40 rows
That's mainly because 120 is an even number.
