at the county fair, the apple pies are lined up sidebyside for judging on a 6 foot table each pie has an areaof 50.24 inches squared. how many pies are on the table?plz show allll work!
I explained this to Audrey on Tuesday.

A = pi * r^2
50.24 = 3.14 * r^2
50.24 / 3.14 = r^2
16 = r^2
4 = r
To find out how many pies are on the table, we need to determine the total area available on the table and divide it by the area of each pie.
1. Start by converting the length of the table from feet to inches since the area of the pies is given in square inches. Since there are 12 inches in a foot, the length of the table in inches is:
6 feet * 12 inches/foot = 72 inches
2. The total area of the table is the length multiplied by the width. In this case, we assume the width is not mentioned, so we will use the length only:
Total table area = 72 inches * Width of the table (unknown)
3. Now we need to find the number of pies that can fit on the table. We can do this by dividing the total table area by the area of each pie:
Number of pies = Total table area / Area of each pie
4. Given that the area of each pie is 50.24 inches squared, we substitute this value into the formula:
Number of pies = Total table area / 50.24 inches squared
So, to find the number of pies on the table, we need to know the width of the table. Without the width, it is not possible to provide an exact answer.
