A farmer charges for his coffee beans using the equation C = 3.95p, where C is the cost of the coffee beans and p is the number of pounds of coffee beans. What is the slope?

Slope m = 3.95

Step-by-step explanation:

Mathematically :

The equation of a line is written as y = mx + b

where

m is the slope

b is the y- intercept.

From the above question, we are told:

A farmer charges for his coffee beans using the equation C = 3.95p,

where C is the cost of the coffee beans and p is the number of pounds of coffee beans.

Comparing both equations:

y = mx + b

C = 3.95p

C = y

mx = 3.95p

b = 0

Therefore, the slope is 3.95

36 girls

step-by-step explanation:

the 48 boys is 4 parts of the ratio

divide 48 by 4 to obtain one part of the ratio

= 12 ← 1 part of the ratio

3 parts = 3 × 12 = 36 ← number of girls
