Answer:

If they work continuously for 8 hours they can bake 32 cookies but that's a really long time to bake lol

Step-by-step explanation:


Answer:

C. 32

Step-by-step explanation:

First we can find the equation of the graph using the points (5,20) and(0,0).

Let  x represent hours and y represent batches of cookies

slope = (20 - 0)/(5 - 0)

        = 20/5

       = 4

Now use a general point (x,y) and (5,20) to find the equation.

4 = (y - 20)/(x - 5)

4(x-5) = y-20

4x - 20 = y - 20

y = 4x

when x = 8,

y = 4×8

   = 32.
