The library at school is organized by fiction and nonfiction books. There are three nonfiction books for every seven fiction books. How many total books are there if the library has 240 nonfiction books

Answers

Answer 1
3/7 = 240/x....3 non-fiction to 7 fiction = 240 non fiction to x fiction
cross multiply
(3)(x) = (240)(7)
3x = 1680
x = 1680/3
x = 560

so we have 240 non-fiction books and 560 fiction books...for a total of
(240 + 560) = 800 books <==
Answer 2

The total number of books in the school library is 800.

Given that, in a library at school, there are three nonfiction books for every seven fiction books and the number of nonfictional books=240.

What are proportions?

Proportion, in general, is referred to as a part, share, or number considered in comparative relation to a whole. The proportion definition says that when two ratios are equivalent, they are in proportion. It is an equation or statement used to depict that two ratios or fractions are equal.

Let the total number of books be x.

Now, the ratio of fictional to nonfictional boos is 3:7

Total=3+7=10

So, 3/10 = 240/x

⇒3x=240×10

⇒3x=2400

⇒x=800

Therefore, the total number of books in the school library is 800.

a bouquet had 10 flowers and sold for $90 how much would a bouqet of 5 flowers cost?

Answers

First, you would need to figure out how much a single flower would cost. To do this, you would divide $90 among the 10 flowers. 
$90 ÷ 10 = $9

A single flower would cost $9. 

Now, all you would have to do is multiply the cost per flower by the number of flowers.
$9 × 5 = $45

I would cost $45 for a bouquet of 5 flowers.

35, 29, 23, 17,
256, 64, 16, 8,

Answers

i believe the answer is the second option because they are all divisible by 4. Hope i helped.

Answer:

4, 12, 36, 108  is set of geometric sequence.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given  : geometric sequence.

To find : Which set of numbers is a geometric sequence.

Solution : We have given geometric sequence.

In a Geometric Sequence each term is found by multiplying the previous term by a constant.

Like : {a, ar, ar², ar³, ... }, where , a = first term , r = common ration .

We can see sequence 4, 12, 36, 108 in form of  4 , 4*3 , 4 (3)² , 4( 3)³.

Here, common ration is 3.

Therefore, 4, 12, 36, 108  is set of geometric sequence.

The ages of Edna, Ellie, and Elsa are consecutive integers. The sum of their ages is 108. What are their ages?

Answers

All I did was guess and check. I started with the 30s because their sum would be nine and there might be a one to carry to make it 10. After many tries (well, not many, I'm just being dramatic) I got 35, 36, and 37. Hope I helped.

The ages of  Edna, Ellie, and Elsa are 35, 36, 37 respectively.

What is meant by consecutive integers?

For any integer say 'a', its consecutive integers will be → (a + 1), (a + 2), (a + 3), .... , (a + n).

Given is the sum of ages of Edna, Ellie, and Elsa is 108.

Assume that the age of Edna is x.

Then the ages of Ellie and Elsa will be (x + 1) and (x + 2) respectively.

From the question we can write -

x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) = 108

3x + 3 = 108

3x = 105

x = 35

So, we can write -

Age of Edna = 35

Age of Ellie = 36

Age of Elsa = 37

Therefore, the ages of  Edna, Ellie, and Elsa are 35, 36, 37 respectively.

That means we need 320 / 80=4

Hope this helps

Answer:

The answer is option A : 4 gallons.

Step-by-step explanation:

A recipe for 10 servings of raspberry sorbet calls for 2 cups of water, 1/1.2 cups of granulated sugar, and 4 cups of frozen raspberries.

Now 10 servings need = 2 cups of water.

And 320 servings will need = [tex]\frac{2}{10}\times320= 64[/tex] cups of water.

Now, 1 cup = 0.0625 gallons

So, 64 cups are = [tex]0.0625\times64=4[/tex] gallons

Therefore, answer is option A : 4 gallons.

Simplify it:
3x = 22.5

How many more barrels of gasoline then diesel were produced last year gasoline 34% diesel 29% total crude oil -60 million barrels Total

Answers

Answer: 3 million barrels


Step-by-step explanation:

Given :- Total crude oil= 60 million barrels

Quantity of gasoline = 34% of total crude oil

[tex]=0.34\times60\text{ million barrels}\\=20.4\text{ million barrels}[/tex]

Quantity of diesel = 29% of total crude oil

[tex]=0.29\times60\text{ million barrels}\\=17.4\text{ million barrels}[/tex]

Clearly, Quantity of gasoline is more than Quantity of diesel

difference = Quantity of gasoline-Quantity of diesel

[tex]20.4\text{ million barrels}-17.4\text{ million barrels}\\=3\text{ million barrels}[/tex]

Therefore, The production of gasoline is 3 million barrels more than diesel last year.



3 million more barrels of gasoline then diesel were produced and this can be determine by using the arithmetic operations.

Given :

Gasoline is 34% of total crude oil.Diesel is 29% of total crude oil.Total crude oil = 60 million barrels.

The quantity of Gasoline = 34% of total crude oil

                                           [tex]=\dfrac{34}{100}\times 60[/tex]

                                           = 20.4 million barrels

The quantity of Diesel = 29% of total crude oil

                                      [tex]=\dfrac{29}{100}\times 60[/tex]

                                      = 17.4 million barrels

Quantity of Gasoline - Quantity of Diesel = 20.4 - 17.4 = 3 million barrels

Therefore, 3 million more barrels of gasoline then diesel were produced.

-12y+14-9y = 14
-21y+14=14
-14
-21y = 0

y = 0
Now you replace the y in the seccond equation with 0
x = -6*0+7
x = 7

ANSWER: x is 7 and y is 0


To solve such problems we must know about the system of equations.

The system of the equation will give a unique solution at point (7, 0).

Given to us2x - 9y = 14x= - 6y + 7


SolutionEquation 1

2x-9y=14

as the value of x is already given in equation2, therefore, substituting the value of x in equation 1, we get,

[tex]2(6y+7)-9y=14[/tex]

[tex]-12y+14-9y=14\\ -12y-9y =14-14\\ -21y = 0\\ y =0[/tex]

Equation 2

[tex]x= - 6y + 7[/tex]

Substituting the value of y,

[tex]x= - 6(0) + 7\\ x= 7[/tex]

Verification

The system will give a unique solution at points x=7, and y=0, this can be verified by plotting the two equations on the graph.

Hence, the system of the equation will give a unique solution at point (7, 0).
