He has 286 Fiction Books.
Why?
Assume number of Non Fiction Books to be x
So, number of Fiction Books will be 11x
The sum of both the books is 312
So, 11x + x= 312
12x=312
x=312÷13=26
x was the number of Non Fiction Books. So, there are 26 Non Fiction Books.
Fiction Books= 11x=11*26=286.
Hence, there will be 286 Fiction Books in Mark's bookcases.

Security A rounds every 2 minutes and 20 seconds in the gate 1. Security B rounds every 1 minute and 40 seconds in the gate 2. I
Elden [556K]

Answer:

Time = 11\frac{2}{3}\ min

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Security\ A = 2\ mins, 20\ secs

Security\ B = 1\ mins, 40\ secs

Required

After how many minutes, will they round together

First, convert the given time to minutes

Security\ A = 2\ mins, 20\ secs

Security\ A = 2\ mins+ 20\ secs

Security\ A = 2\ mins+ \frac{20}{60}\ min

Security\ A = 2\ mins+ \frac{1}{3}\ min

Security\ A = 2\frac{1}{3}\ min

Security\ B = 1\ mins, 40\ secs

Security\ B = 1\ mins+ 40\ secs

Security\ B = 1\ mins+ \frac{40}{60}\ min

Security\ B = 1\frac{2}{3}\ min

So, we have:

Security\ A = 2\frac{1}{3}\ min

Security\ B = 1\frac{2}{3}\ min

List out the multiples of the time of both security personnel take round.

Security\ A = 2\frac{1}{3}min,\ 4\frac{2}{3}min,\ 7min,\ 9\frac{1}{3}min,\ 11\frac{2}{3}min...

Security\ B = 1\frac{2}{3}min,\ 3\frac{1}{3}min,\ 5min,\ 6\frac{2}{3}min,\ 8\frac{1}{3}min,\ 10min\ ,11\frac{2}{3}min,...

In the above lists, the common time is:

Time = 11\frac{2}{3}\ min

<em>This implies that they go on round after </em>11\frac{2}{3}\ min<em></em>

Celine has a bottle that contains 20% milk and the rest water. The bottle has 1 liter of water. Part A: Write an equation using
kirill [66]

Part A:

x - total number of liters ( milk + water )

0.2 x + 1 = x

Part B :

0.2 x + 1 = x

0.8 x = 1

x = 1 : 0.8 = 1.25 lit.

Milk:

1.25  x  0.2 = 0.25 lit.
