Answer: Part a) The fraction of all of the baked goods at Laurita’s Bakery that are coconut pies is 1/5

Part b) The fraction of all of the baked goods at Laurita’s Bakery that are angel food cakes is 1/15

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the total number of baked goods

we know that

1) 3/5 of the baked goods are pies and the rest are cakes

To obtain the number of pies multiply the total number of baked goods by 3/5

The number of pies is ----> (3/5)x

To obtain the number of cakes subtract the number of pies from the total number of baked goods

The number of cakes is -----> x-(3/5)x=(2/5)x

2) 1/3 of the pies are coconut

To obtain the number of coconut pies multiply the number of pies by 1/3

The number of coconut pies is -----> (3/5)x(1/3)=(3/15)x=(1/5)x

3) 1/6 of the cakes are angel food

To obtain the number of angel food cakes multiply the number of cakes by 1/6

The number of angel food cakes is -----> (2/5)x(1/6)=(2/30)x=(1/15)x

Part a) What fraction of all of the baked goods at Laurita’s Bakery are coconut pies?

we know that

The number of coconut pies is (1/5)x (see Part 2)

Divide the number of coconut pies by the total number of baked goods

therefore

The fraction of all of the baked goods at Laurita’s Bakery that are coconut pies is 1/5

Part b) What fraction of all of the baked goods at Laurita’s Bakery are angel food cakes?

we know that

The number of angel food cakes is (1/15)x (see Part 3)

Divide the number of angel food cakes by the total number of baked goods

therefore

The fraction of all of the baked goods at Laurita’s Bakery that are angel food cakes is 1/15

How do i find the slope

Elodia [21]

Hi, I'm happy to help!

To find the slope, you need to use the slope formula, where m is the slope:

m= $\frac{y_{2}-y_{1 } }{x_{2} -x_{1} }$

Slope means rise over run, or how much the line rises per the amount the line moves forward. This equation shows the movement from the y points to show rise, over the difference in the x points to show run.

Now, to find the slope we insert our values, starting with our second y point:

m= $\frac{2-y_{1 } }{x_{2} -x_{1} }$

Now insert our first y point:

m= $\frac{2-4 }{x_{2} -x_{1} }$

Now we insert our second x point:

m= $\frac{2-4 }{-3 -x_{1} }$

And finally our first x point:

m= $\frac{2-4 }{-3 -3 }$

Now, we solve:

m= $\frac{-2 }{-6}$

So, our slope is -2/-6, to simplify it, we remove both negatives because they cancel each other out.

m= $\frac{2 }{6}$

Now, we simplify our fraction by dividing the top and bottom by 2:

m= $\frac{1}{3}$

So, our slope is 1/3. This means that for every 1 unit the line rises, it goes to the right 3 units. The y-intercept is where the line hits the y axis.

If the question is asking for slope intercept form for the equation, you use y=mx+b

y represents any y coordinate on your line, m represents your slope (1/3), x represents any x coordinate on your line, and b represents your y-intercept (3).

If you were to insert these values, you would get:

y= $\frac{1}{3}$ x+3

You use this to find what a y coordinate would be so you can draw your line.

For the next equation we do the same thing:

m= $\frac{y_{2}-y_{1 } }{x_{2} -x_{1} }$

Insert our values:

m= $\frac{4-1}{2-(-4)}$
