Question:

In the library at Lenape Elementary School, there are 3/8 as many fiction books as there are nonfiction books. There are 44 books in the school library. How many books are fiction books?

Answer:

There are 12 fiction books in library

Solution:

Let "x" be the number of non fiction books

Then given that,

There are 3/8 as many fiction books as there are nonfiction books

$Fiction\ books = \frac{3}{8}x$

There are 44 books in the school library

Therefore,

Non fiction books + fiction books = 44

$x + \frac{3x}{8} = 44\\\\\8x + 3x = 44 \times 8\\\\11x = 44 \times 8\\\\x = 4 \times 8\\\\x = 32$

How many books are fiction books?

$Fiction\ books = \frac{3}{8}x = \frac{3 \times 32 }{8} = 12$

Thus there are 12 fiction books in library

What is the simplified form of the following expression? Assume x not-equals 0. RootIndex 5 StartRoot StartFraction 10 x Over 3

SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

$\dfrac{\sqrt[5]{810x^3}}{3x}$

Step-by-step explanation:

As a rule, the "simplified form" means there are no fractions under a radical.

$\sqrt[5]{\dfrac{10x}{3x^3}}=\sqrt[5]{\dfrac{10x(3^4x^2)}{3x^3(3^4x^2)}}=\sqrt[5]{\dfrac{810x^3}{(3x)^5}}=\boxed{\dfrac{\sqrt[5]{810x^3}}{3x}}$

A student solving for the acceleration of an object has applied appropriate physics principles and obtained the expression a=a1+

egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

$a=\frac{3\times 7}{7}+\frac{12}{7}$ (First step for obtaining a common denominator for the two fraction)

$a=\frac{33}{7}\text{ m/s}^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\text{Given Expression: }a=a_1+\frac{F}{m}$

where,

a is acceleration of an object.(Need to calculate)

$a_1=3.00\text{ m/s}^2$

$F=12.0\text{ Kg.m/s}^2$

$m=7.00\text{ kg}$

$\text{Substitute }a_1, \text{ F, and m into expression and we get}$

$a=3+\frac{12}{7}$

Now we will simplify above expression for a

First we make common denominator.

Common denominator is 7. So, we make both denominator 7. We multiply by 7 at top and bottom with 3. We get

$a=\frac{3\times 7}{7}+\frac{12}{7}$ (First step for obtaining a common denominator for the two fraction)

Now we combine the numerator

$a=\frac{21+12}{7}$

$a=\frac{33}{7}\text{ m/s}^2$
