1 answer:

8 0

Hello!

You have to multiply 1 1/4 by 30 because each math book is 1 1/4 in. thick, and 30 books is 1 1/4 by 30. First change 30 and 1 1/4 to an improper fraction.

$\frac{30}{1} \times \frac{5}{4} = \frac{150}{4} = 37 \frac{1}{2}$

$\framebox{37 1/2 inches}$

Answer:

$\frac{x}{2y} = \frac{4}{10} \\ 8y = 10x \\ y = \frac{10x}{8} - - - - - 1 \\ \\ \frac{a}{5b} = \frac{25}{100} \\ \frac{a}{5b} = \frac{1}{4} \\ 4a = 5b \\ a = \frac{5b}{4} - - - 2 \\ \\ so \: \: \frac{a + y}{5} \\ = (a + y) \times \frac{1}{5} \\ = ( \frac{5b}{4} + \frac{5x}{4} ) \times \frac{1}{5} \\ = \frac{5b + 5x}{4} \times \frac{1}{5} \\ = \frac{5(b + x)}{4} \times \frac{1}{5} \\ = \frac{b + x}{4} \\ \\ so \: \: \: \frac{a + y}{5} = \frac{b + x}{4}$
