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

Brums [2.3K]

$\frac{7}{9} \times (8 \frac{3}{7} + 5 \frac{11}{14}) = \\$

$\frac{7}{9} \times (8 \frac{6}{14} + 5 \frac{11}{14} ) = \\$

$\frac{7}{9} \times (13 \frac{6 + 11}{14}) = \\$

$\frac{7}{9} \times (13 \frac{17}{14}) = \\$

$\frac{7}{9} \times (14 \frac{3}{14}) = \\$

$\frac{7}{9} \times ( \frac{14 \times 3 + 3}{14}) = \\$

$\frac{7}{9} \times ( \frac{42 + 3}{14}) = \\$

$\frac{7}{9} \times ( \frac{45}{14}) = \frac{7 \times 45}{9 \times 14} = \frac{5}{2} \\$

Which statements are true about the reflectional symmetry of a regular heptagon? Check all that apply. It has only 1 line of ref

Sav [38]

The answer is:

1- A line of symmetry will connect a vertex and a midpoint of an opposite side.

2- It has $7$ -fold symmetry.

The explanation for this answer is shown below:

1- By definition, a line of symmetry is an imaginary line that divides a figure into two equal images or equal halves. If you connect a vertex and a midpoint of an opposite side of an heptagon by drawing a line, you will obtain two equal halves.

2- An heptagon has seven vertices, therefore, based on the information mentioned above, it has $7$ -fold symmetry.

A Climbing Gym charges $10 to climb each day. A pair of Climbing shoes cost $84. It cost $169 to buy 6 days of climbing, one pai

yaroslaw [1]

Cost of 6 days climbing = $10 * 6 = $60
Cost of one pair of shoes = $84
Total cost = $169

So, cost of one harness = $169 - $(84+60)
harness = $169 - $144 = $25

So, your final answer is $25
