Answer:

12 fiction books.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let b represent number of non-fiction books.

We have been given that in the library at Lenape elementary school, there are 3/8 as many fiction books as there are nonfiction books. So number of fiction books would be \frac{3}{8}x.

We are also told that there are 44 books in school library. We can represent this information in an equation as:

x+\frac{3}{8}x=44

Let us solve for x.

\frac{8x}{8}+\frac{3}{8}x=44

\frac{8x+3x}{8}=44

\frac{11x}{8}=44

\frac{11x}{8}\cdot \frac{8}{11}=44\cdot\frac{8}{11}

x=4\cdot 8

x=32

Therefore, there are 32 non fiction books in the library.

Number of fiction books would be \frac{3}{8}x\Rightarrow \frac{3}{8}*32=3*4=12

Therefore, there are 12 fiction books in the library.

insens350 [35]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Your cousin wants to buy a coat and can spend at most $95. This means that the total amount of money that he can spend in buying the coat would be lesser than or equal to $95.

He has a coupon for $20 off any coat. Let x represent the cost of the coat. The amount that he can pay for the coat will be x - 20.

The inequality to find the original prices of coats he can afford would be

x - 20 lesser than or equal to 95

3. A group of workers is harvesting berries at a constant rate. An equation that represents the number of baskets of berries the
grin007 [14]

In y = mx + b form, the slope can be found in the m position and the y intercept can be found in the b position.



y = mx + b


y = 2x + 15


slope(m) = 2 and y int (b) = 15



The initial amount is the y intercept, which is 15. The rate of change (the slope) is 2


example :  


baskets picked in 1 hr :


y = 2(1) + 15


y = 2 + 15


y = 17



baskets  picked in 2 hrs :


y = 2(2) + 15


y = 4 + 15


y = 19



so the slope ( rate of change) is basically saying for every hr of picking, you pick 2 baskets...so your picking 2 baskets per hr.


The y intercept (15) is telling us that they already had 15 baskets to start with.
