If of all books at a library are nonfiction and of the nonfiction books are
4
biographies, then what fraction of the library's books are nonfiction
biographies?

Answer:

x = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that ∆EFG ~ ∆ABC, therefore the ratio of the their corresponding sides would be equal.

Thus:

EG/AC = EF/AB

EG = 756

AC = (45x - 76)

EF = 1107

AB = 943

Plug in the values into the equation

756/(45x - 76) = 1107/943

Cross Multiply

756*943 = (45x - 76)*1107

712,908 = 49,815x - 84,132

712,908 + 84,132 = 49,815x

797,040 = 49,815x

797,040/49,815 = x

16 = x

x = 16

Apnswer:

p = 1

q = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

5p - 2q = 9   eqn 1

3p + 2q = 7    eqn 2

subtract equation 2 from 1

2p = 2

p = 1

Substitute for p in equation 1

5(1) - 2q = 9

5 - 2q = 9

-2q = 4

q = -2

Answer:

Cost increases to $330.

The percent increase here would be:

= (New price - Old price )/ Old price

= (330 - 250) / 250

= 0.32

= 32%

Cost increases to $330 and charges $50 baggage fee

= (New price - Old price )/ Old price

= (330 + 50 - 250) / 250

= 0.52

= 52%

Step-by-step explanation:

Apparently, you're being asked to identify the sequence of steps you would use to compute the volume of the pyramid.

It seems to be a good idea to start with the formula for the volume.

Then, recognize that you need to compute B, so make that computation. The area of the base (B) is the product of the base dimensions (14)(12).

Once you have the value of B, then you can put that, along with the value of h, into the original volume formula.

Evaluating it gives the volume in cubic units.

_____

Additional comment

If you're familiar with the pyramid volume formula, you know that you must compute B before you can make use of the formula. That makes the sequence be B=14(12); B=168; V=1/3Bh; V=1/3(168)(7).

However, if you're starting from scratch, it is probably good to begin with the volume formula. That is what tells you that you need to find B in the first place. This is the sequence we show below.

Answer:

1) N^2 + 1

2) 5*N - 9

3) n*5 + 1    (con n entero)

4) n*2 + 1    (con n entero)

Step-by-step explanation:

1)  El cuadrado de un número aumentado en 1.

Podemos definir a N como el número.

El cuadrado de N es:

N^2

Y a esto lo tenemos que aumentar en 1, entonces tenemos:

N^2 + 1

Esto es el cuadrado de un número aumentado en 1.

2)  Cinco veces un número menos 8.

Esto es:

5*N  (5 veces un número)

Y a esto le restamos 8, para obtener:

5*N - 8

3) El número siguiente a un múltiplo de 5

Un multiplo de 5 se escribe como:

n*5

Donde n es un número entero.

El numero siguiente es:

n*5 + 1

4) Un número impar.

Bien, sabemos que un número par es un multiplo de 2.

Entonces:

n*2 es un número par.

Entonces, n*2 + 1 tiene que ser un numero impar.

En este caso la expresión algebraica es:

n*2 + 1

Given:

Number of boys = [tex]\dfrac{1}{4}[/tex] of the total persons.

Number of girls = [tex]\dfrac{5}{8}[/tex] of the total persons.

Remaining persons are adults.

There were 56 more girls than adults.

To find:

The number of total persons.

Solution:

Let x be the number of total persons. Then,

Number of boys = [tex]\dfrac{1}{4}x[/tex]

Number of girls = [tex]\dfrac{5}{8}x[/tex]

Number of adults = Total persons - Boys - Girls

                             = [tex]x-\dfrac{1}{4}x-\dfrac{5}{8}x[/tex]

                             = [tex]\dfrac{8x-2x-5x}{8}[/tex]

                             = [tex]\dfrac{x}{8}[/tex]

There were 56 more girls than adults.

Girls = Adults + 56

[tex]\dfrac{5}{8}x=\dfrac{x}{8}+56[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{5}{8}x-\dfrac{x}{8}=56[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{4}{8}x=56[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{1}{2}x=56[/tex]

Multiply both sides by 2.

[tex]x=112[/tex]

Therefore, the total number of persons is 112.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

12=12

Step-by-step explanation:

2a = b

a -3b =12

To solve, set one of the equations equal to zero.  The first equation is actually already set to 0.

b = 2a

Now you can plug this equation into the other one, by substituting the b in the equation with this.

a -3b = 12

a – 3(2a) = 12

Now all you have to do is distribute the 3 (multiply the number outside the parenthesis, 3 in this case, by everything inside).

a – 6a = 12

Combine like terms.  Since we have 1 positive a and 6 negative ones, we subtract the two numbers without the signs

6-1 = 5

And take the sign of the larger number.  Since 6 is large and 6 is negative, we are left with

-5a = 12

Now solve for a, which in this case means dividing both sides by -5

a = -12/5

Simplify

a = -2.4

Now that you have a, it’s easy to find b

b = 2a

b = 2(-2.4)

b= -4.8

Now you check your work by plugging your new a and b into either equation to see if it’s true.

-4.8 = 2(-2.4)

-4.8 = -4.8

And just for laughs let’s try the other equation

a -3b =12

-2.4 – 3(-4.8) = 12

Distribute the 3 again.  Remember that when two negative numbers are multiplied they become positive.

-2.4 +14.4 = 12

12 = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

a = - 2

b = 5

Our expression is,

a² + b.

To solve this, we need to substitute the values of a & b in the given expresssion. So,

a² + b

= (-2)² + 5

= 4 + 5 (2 negatives when mutilpied gives a positive number)

Answer:

2 7/8 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

2hrs 12 mins

Step-by-step explanation:

5hrs = 5x = 1600  question asks us to find 680

2 1/2x + 680-640 =-x + 2.8hrs

2x + 40 = x + 2.8hrs

2x + 40 = 680

Then use the 2.8 to convert into hrs : minutes ie) 0.8 x 60

0.8  *  60 = 48 minutes

Then go back to  x  + 2.8hrs = x + 2hrs 48mins

2x + 48 = 60

2x + 48 = 60

2x+ 60 - 48  

x = 2:12 hours
