Answer:

He had read 12 books.

Explanation:

Let us first rewrite the main information from the task.

He planned to read 15 books.

He had read 4/5 so far.

How many books is that?

This basically means that we have to calculate how much is 4/5 of 15.

The easiest way to do this is to multiply 4/5 and 15.

Let's mark with x the number of the books he had read:

x = 4/5 • 15

x = 12

We cat think of this as splitting 15 into five equal parts, and then taking four of those parts. Each part will be 15 / 5 = 3, so four parts will be 4 • 3 = 12.

According to the dictionary, squawks do not mean the same thing as squeaks. does this sentence need any revision?
Svetlanka [38]
It might be clearer to say: According to the dictionary, a squawk is not the same thing as a squeak. there's no need for them to be plural in your sentence and it's likely that, in the dictionary, they're listed as "squeak" and "squawk" singularly. when describing dictionary definitions it's best to use the form of the word that the dictionary uses for clarity.

Answer:

I think you should leave that exact answer because compound sentences can be read as separate sentences once the conjunction is removed and still make sense.

Explanation:

Conjunction - word used to link two sentences. For example, but, and, or, yet, so, etc.
