Using proportions, it is found that Mrs. Wood should expect 1,898 books out of the 36,500 to have major damage.

<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.

For this problem, the proportion of books with major damage is:

43/(716 + 68 + 43) = 0.051995.

Hence, out of 36,500 books, the expected amount of books with major damage is:

0.051995 x 36,500 = 1898.

Leonardo decided to start training to run in a marathon to keep in shape. After 5 training sessions, he had run a total of 25 mi
lisov135 [29]
Total distance ran by Leonardo in 5 training sessions = 25 miles
Then
Total distance ran by Leonardo in 1 training session = (25/5) miles
                                                                                   = 5 miles
Total distance ran by Leonardo today was half the distance he actually covers in every training session.
So
Total distance ran by Leonardo today = (5/2) miles
                                                             = 2.5 miles
So Leonardo ran for a distance of 2.5 miles today. <span>It is actually very important to read the question carefully and then the answering the question becomes easy.

The label on the cars antifreeze container claims to protect the car between -30C and 130C. To convert Celsius temperature to Fa
RideAnS [48]
C = 5/9(F - 32)

C = -30
-30 = 5/9(F - 32)
-30 = 5/9F - 160/9
-30 + 160/9 = 5/9F
-270/9 + 160/9 = 5/9F
-110/9 = 5/9F
-110/9 * 9/5 = F
- 990/45 = F
- 22 = F

C = 5/9(F - 32)
C = 130

130 = 5/9F  - 160/9
130 + 160/9 = 5/9F
1170/9 + 160/9 = 5/9F
1330/9 = 5/9F
1330/9 * 9/5 = F
11970/45 = F
266 = F

So in Fahrenheit temp, the the car is protected between -22 F and 266 F
