Answer:

D.5

Step-by-step explanation:

You can write the following equations from the information given:

y=x+3 (1)

11x+5y=47 (2)

x is the number of hardback books

y is the number of paperback books

You can replace (1) in (2):

11x+5(x+3)=47

11x+5x+15=47

16x=47-15

16x=32

x=32/16

x=2

Then, you can replace the value of x in (1) to find the value of y:

y=2+3

y=5

According to this, the answer is that Jamal bought 5 paperback books.

Ruby plans to make 3 quilts per month until she makes 15 quilts. She figures this will take 1/5 month. Which is NOT a reason why
pashok25 [27]

Answer: c)She should have multiplied 15 by 3 instead of dividing.


Step-by-step explanation:

Number of quilts Ruby plan to make in one month= 3

which means if Ruby makes more than 3 quilts, the time will be more than 1 month.

To find the number of months to make 15 quilts, she need to divide 15 by 3

Thus, the number of months to make 15 quilts=5

Her answer was 1/5 which was absolutely wrong as if she is making 3 quilt in 1 month then in 1/5  month she would make fewer than 3 quilts.

She divides 3 by 15 instead of 15 by 3, thus but the unit is quilts not months.

Thus the only wrong option is c)She should have multiplied 15 by 3 instead of dividing.
