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

creativ13 [48]

We are given

piggy bank has nickels , dimes and quarters

Let's assume

number of nickels =n

every two nickels there are 3 dimes

so, number of dimes are

$=\frac{3}{2}n$

$=1.5n$

every two dimes that are 5 quarters there

so, number of quarters are

$=\frac{5}{2}\times 1.5n$

$=3.75n$

so, total number of coins = number of nickels + number of dimes +number of quarters

total number of coins =n+1.5n+3.75

there are 500 coins

so, we get

$n+1.5n+3.75n=500$

now, we can solve for n

$6.25n=500$

divide both sides by 6.25

so, we get

$n=80$

number of dimes is 1.5n

$=1.5\times 80$

$=120$

number of quarters is 3.75n

$=3.75\times 80$

$=300$

so,

Number of nickels =80

Number of dimes =120

Number of quarters =300............Answer

anzhelika [568]

Answer is C
14.2+6.5(p+3q)-4.05q
14.2+6.5p+19.5q-4.05q
14.2+6.5p+15.45q→6.5p+15.45q+14.2
so the answer is C
