Answer:
The greatest number of the books that could have been borrowed during the week is 36
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's create an equation which represent this problem, where will rest the book borrow and add the book returned to the 40 initial amount of book on Monday, to get the 22 book in the shelf on Saturday morning
40 (book on the shelf on Monday) - x (book borrowed) + 0.5 * x (50 % of the book was returned before Saturday) = 22 (books in the shelf on Saturday morning)
40 - x + 0.5 * x = 22
40 - 0.5*x = 22
18 = 0.5 * x
18/0.5 = x
36 = x
The amount of borrowed books is 36
Answer:
56 quizzes
Step-by-step explanation:
40 quizzes = 5 weeks
To find the unit rate of quizzes / week, we can divide both sides by 5
40/5 quizzes = 5/5 weeks
8 quizzes = 1 week
Multiply both sides by 7 to find the amount of quizzes in 7 weeks
8 * 7 quizzes = 1 * 7 weeks
56 quizzes = 7 weeks
The first one, 4x is the slope and the +3 is the y-intercept
