Using proportions, it is found that the number of books that was left over was of 505.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

The number of books received by Marie is given by:

M = 772 - 345 = 427.

Melanie received one-sixth of Marie, hence:

Me = 427/6 = 71.

The total amount is 25 times Melanie's amount, hence:

T = 25 x 71 = 1775.

The amount left over is:

L = 1775 - (772 + 427 + 71) = 505

The complement of an angle is eight times as large as the angle find the measure of the complement
hammer [34]
Label the 2 angles, one is x and the other is 8x.
90 = 8x + x
90 = 9x
10 =x
10 times 8 = 80. this is 8x.
10(which is x) + 80 (which is the 8x) = 90.

Colby adds 1 2/3 cups of flour to his mixing bowl and then realizes he put too much.He takes 1/4 cup of flour back out of the bo
galben [10]

Answer:

The quantity of flour need by Colby's recipe is  1\frac{5}{12} cups.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Colby adds 1\frac{2}{3} cups of flour to his mixing bowl and then realizes he put too much.He takes\frac{1}{4} cup of flour back out of the bowl.

We have to find the quantity of flour need by Colby's recipe.

The quantity of flour need by Colby's recipe = Number of flour cups Colby added - number of flour cups Colby taken out.

that is,

Number of flour cups Colby added = 1\frac{2}{3}=\frac{5}{3}

Number of flour cups Colby taken out = \frac{1}{4}

The quantity of flour need by Colby's recipe = \frac{5}{3}-\frac{1}{4}

taking LCM, we get, LCM(3,4) =12

The quantity of flour need by Colby's recipe = \frac{20-3}{12}

The quantity of flour need by Colby's recipe = \frac{17}{12}=1\frac{5}{12}

Thus, The quantity of flour need by Colby's recipe is  1\frac{5}{12} cups.
