Answer:

<em>There are 1700 books in the library.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>If 28% of the books is non-fiction, that means the remaining 72% of books are fiction.</em>

If 72% of the books are fiction, 1224/72 will give us 1%, which is 17.

If 1% is 17 books, then 17*100=100% of books.

There are 1700 books in the library.

Angel works in a dentist’s office making $13.50 an hour. She works 40 hours per week. How much does she make in a year?
-Dominant- [34]
This is a 2 part question, so we will go step by step

Since Angel makes 13.50 an hour, and she works 40 hours a week, we have to make an equation and solve it. 


First, let's make the equation, and we should multiply. Why?

Because finding out how much she made in a week would make it easier to find out how much she makes in a year. To find out how much she makes in a week, we need to add 13.50 40 times, and multiplication is an easier way of doing that.

Now to set it up, 40 is the number we are multiplying by (Because 40 is how many hours she works, and 13.50 is how much she makes in that hour)

and 13.50 is the number getting multiplied

Now we insert numbers into typical multiplication format

13.50 x 40 = ?

Now we solve

13.50 x 40 = 540

So she makes 540 dollars in a week, now we need to multiply that by the number of weeks they are in a year and we are done.

With a little help from Google, we can learn that there are in 52.1 weeks<span> in a common year. 

Now we do the same thing we did the last time and insert our numbers into the equation.

(52.1 is what we are multiplying by, and 540 is the number that is getting multiplied.)

540 x 52.1 = ?

Solve

</span>540 x 52.1 = 28,134

She makes <span>28,134 in a year
</span>
Hope this helped!

When y=7.5 x=2 what is the value of y when x is 2 1/4
swat32
<h2>Answer:</h2>

The value of y is 8.4375

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2><h3>Known :</h3>
  • y = 7.5
  • x = 2

<h3>Asked :</h3>
  • The value of y when x is 2.25

<h3>Solution :</h3>

2/7.5 = 2.25/y

Do a cross multiplication,

2/7.5 = 2.25/y

=> 20/75 = 2.25/y

=> 75 . 2.25 = 20y

=> 168.75 = 20y

Reverse the equation,

168.75 = 20y

=> 20y = 168.75

Find the value of y,

20y = 168.75

=> y = 8.4375

<h3>Conclusion :</h3>

y = 8.4375

Find the missing dimension.
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

2 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Here the area and the lengths of the two parallel sides of this trapezoid are given:

A = 7m^2, b1 = 3 m and b2 = 4 m.  What's missing is the width of the trapezoid.

First we write out the formula for the area of a trapezoid:

       b1 + b2

A = --------------- * w, where w represents the width of the figure.

             2

We need to solve this for the width, w.  Multiplying both sides of the above equation by

     2

------------

b1 + b2

results in

 2A

------------ = w

b1 + b2

Substituting 7 m^2 for A, 3 m for b1 and 4 m for b2 results in

        2(7 m^2)           14 m^2

w = ------------------ = ---------------- = 2 m

        (3 + 4) m             7 m

The missing dimension is the width of the figure.  This width is 2 m.
