Answer:
20 books
Step-by-step explanation:
given that the shelf can hold 25 1/2 lbs (i.e 25.5 lbs), and that each book weighs 1 1/4 ln (i.e 1.25 lbs)
number of books which the shelf can hold
= weight that the shelf can hold ÷ weight of each book
= 25.5 ÷ 1.25
= 20.4 books
because having 0.4 of a book (i.e part of a book) would not be very feasable, we have to round the number of books down to the nearest whole number)
20.4 books rounded down to nearest whole number = 20 books (answer)
The equation that you should use to solve this is (13 + 1/4) - (6 + 2/3) = 6 and 7/12
To find the original price before the increase, divide the new price by 1 + the percent of increase.
198 / 1.20 = 165
The original price was $165
Answer:
x = 11
Step-by-step explanation:
The exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the 2 opposite interior angles.
∠ FEB and ∠ DEB are adjacent angles and supplementary, thus
∠ FEB = 180 - 4x , so
180 - 4x + x = 147, that is
180 - 3x = 147 ( subtract 180 from both sides )
- 3x = - 33 ( divide both sides by - 3 )
x = 11
Answer:
x=-16
Step-by-step explanation:
4x– 15 = 17 - 4x+10x
4x+4x-10x = 17+15
-2x=32
-x=16
x=-16
