Answer:

\frac{1}{5}x=25.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of books in a shipment.

We are asked to write an equation for the given description.

1/5 of a shipment of books would be \frac{1}{5}x.

1/5 of a shipment of books weights 25 pounds. We can represent this information in an equation as:

\frac{1}{5}x=25

Therefore, our required equation would be \frac{1}{5}x=25.

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

Transformation is the movement of a point from its initial point to a new location. Types of transformation are<em> reflection, rotation, translation and dilation.</em>

Dilation is the increase or decrease in the size of a figure.

Figure A maps to figure B with a scale factor of 4/9, hence:

4/9 * x = 16

x = 54

Figure A maps to figure B with a scale factor of 4/9, hence the value of x is x = 54

1. 5/8 + 1/8 = 6/8 --> 3/4

3. - 1/4+ 3/4:

  -0.25+0.75= 0.5 OR 1/2

5. 5/9 + 5/9 = 10/9 --> 1 whole 1/9

7. 3/10 + 1/10 = 4/10 --> 2/5

9. 7/15 + 4/15 = 11/15
