Answer:

Animal books make up (3/20) of all books

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the total number of books, made up of nonfiction, animal, and all others.

(3/5)X are nonfiction books.

Of the nonfiction books, 1/4 are animal books:  (3/5)*(1/4)X = (3/20)X are animal books

[This means that Nonfiction, less animal books is:  (3/5)X - (3/20)X]

Animal books make up (3/20) of all books.

babunello [35]
Well you can simplify them by dividing by there greatest common factor. 
In this case they can both divide by 12!
Thats the biggest number they can divide by...
Soo..
36 ÷ 12 = 3 
----------------
48 ÷ 12 = 4 

So your answer is 3/4!

Good Luck! :)

Jared is redoing his bathroom floor with tiles measuring 6 in. by 14 in. The floor has an area of 8,900 in. What is the least nu
Bond [772]
Firstly we need to find an area of a single tile:

6 * 14 = 84 square inches

Now we just need to find out how many tiles of 84 square inches will fit in an area of 8900 square inches:

8900 ÷ 84 = 105,952380952381

Assuming we can't cut a tile into pieces, we may round the result to 106.

Answer: The least number of tiles Jared will need is <u>106</u>.

Can you help me find this answer<br><br>​

Answer:

a= 18 girls in the class, b= 20 boys and 15 girls, 12 oranges better price.

Step-by-step explanation:

for question a, there are 18 girls in the class, this is how i worked it out:

the ratio of boys to girls is 4:3.

there are 24 boys.

24 is 6 times more than 4.

if boys are 6 times more than the original ratio, we also have to times the amount of girls by 6.

6x3= 18.

for question b i got 20 boys and 15 girls, this is how i did it.

there are 35 students in total.

4:3= boys to girls.

4+3=7

7 goes into 35 five times.

ratio of boys to girls is 4:3 so 5x4 for boys = 20 and 3x5 for girls = 15.

answer= 20 boys and 15 girls.

12 oranges is a better deal, this is how i worked it out.

it is 60 for 12 oranges.

it is 48 for 8 oranges.

12x5= 60 , 8x6=48.

you only have to times 12 by 5 to get it to the price but you have to times 8 by 6 to get it to the price, proving that 12 oranges for 60 is a better deal.
