This question has two parts. First, answer Part A. Then, answer Part B. Part A Pete is making 8 identical fruit baskets as gifts. Each basket contains some apples and 12 oranges. Pete uses a total of 168 pieces of fruit to make the baskets. Which equation can be used to determine the number of apples, a, that are in each basket? Multiple choice question.

Abucket of paint has spilled on a tile floor. the paint flow can be expressed with the function p(t) = 6(t), where t represents time in minutes and p represents how far the paint is spreading. the flowing paint is creating a circular pattern on the tile. the area of the pattern can be expressed as a(p) = 3.14(p)^2 part a: find the area of the circle of spilled paint as a function of time, or a[p(t)]. show your work. part b: how large is the area of spilled paint after 8 minutes? you may use 3.14 to approximate pi in this problem.
