<em><u>Question:</u></em>

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?

<em><u>Answer:</u></em>

There are 12 fiction books in library

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

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

Inessa [10]
Since the plot of "The Wife of Bath's Tale" has at its heart a loathly lady who shape-shifts into a beautiful, young damsel, we might expect appearances to be important here. And they are, just not for the reason you might think. For instead of this being a tale about how a knight learns to appreciate people for what's on the inside and that outer appearances don't matter, it's a tale about how a knight learns to give up sovereignty to his wife. That sovereignty includes power over the body. The loathly lady's physical appearance becomes an important symbol of that body, so that, at the end of the tale, when she offers her husband a choice about how he wants her to look, she's in essence offering him control of her body. He grants this control back to her, thus proving his understanding of the doctrine of women's sovereignty in marriage. Medieval stories don't necessarily go in for the whole 'appearances don't mean anything' maxim anyway, as we've seen in the "General Prologue<span>."</span>

ehidna [41]

Lynn mixes 39 pounds of water with 48 pounds of brick dust, so the mixture has a total weight of 39 + 48 = 87 pounds.

13 pounds are spilled during mixing, so she's left with 87 - 13 = 74 pounds to turn into bricks.

7 pounds are needed for 1 brick, so she can make 10 bricks because 7 • 10 = 70 and 7 • 11 = 77, and 70 < 74 < 77.

If she uses the mixture to make 10 bricks, she uses up 70 pounds of it, which leaves 4 pounds to be washed out.
