Answer: 9 \frac{1}{16} books.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's turn both mixed numbers into fractions:

1\frac{3}{5}=\frac{(1*5)+3}{5}  =\frac{5+3}{5}=\frac{8}{5}  \\\\14\frac{1}{2}=\frac{(14*2)+1}{2}=\frac{28+1}{2}=\frac{29}{2}

Then, to find how many books can fit into the bookshelf, you simply divide the  space in the bookshelf by the thickness of each book:

\frac{\frac{29}{2} }{\frac{8}{5} }=\frac{5*29}{8*2} =\frac{145}{16}

If you want the answer as a mixed number:

\frac{145}{16} =9\frac{1}{16}

0.2y=0.5x+0.1 please solve with math thank you
Cerrena [4.2K]
<span>"Simplifying 0.2y = 0.5x + 0.1
 Reorder the terms: 0.2y = 0.1 + 0.5x Solving 0.2y = 0.1 + 0.5x Solving for variable 'y'.
 Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right.  
Divide each side by '0.2'. y = 0.5 + 2.5x Simplifying y = 0.5 + 2.5x"</span>

Centennial Park = 2 km away

Cantara park = 2548 meters away

Converting the distance to the same unit ( meters)

Centennial park = (2 * 1000) = 2000 m away

Hence, it is Centennial Park which is located closer to Carolyn
