Answer:

1700 books

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

  • % of non-fiction books in the library as 28%
  • Number of fiction books in the library as 1,224 books

We are required to determine the total number of books.

First we determine the percentage of non-fiction books

We need to know that;

% of fiction books + % of non-fiction books = 100%

Therefore;

% of non-fiction books = 100 % - 28 %

                                    = 72%

Second we determine the total number of books

We know that;

Total number of books = 100%

But;

72% = 1,224 books

Therefore;

Total number of books = (1,224 × 100%) ÷ 72%

                                      = 1700 books

Hence, the library has a total number of 1700 books

What is the measure of ∠E?
Inessa [10]
This is a quadrilateral, so the sum of interior angle measures, like a rectangle or square ( who’s interior angle measures are4 x 90) —— is 360

So ...
E + 89 + 130 + 90 = 360
E + 309 = 360
- 309 - 309
E = 51 degrees

Two intelligent, honest students are sitting together at lunch one day when their math teacher hands them each a card. “your car
Lady bird [3.3K]
Answer: The loser's card shows 6.

Explanation: Let's start by naming the first student A and the second student B.
Since the product of A and B are either 12, 15, or 18, let's list every single possibility, the first number being A's number and the second number being B's number.

1     12
1     15
1     18
2     6
2     9
3     4
3     5
3     6
4     3
5     3
6     2
6     3
9     2
12  1
15  1
18  1

Now, the information says that A doesn't know what B has, so we can immediately cross off all of the combinations that have the integer appearing once and once ONLY off, because if it happened once only, A would know of it straight away. Now, our sample space becomes much smaller.

1     12
1     15
1     18
2     6
2     9
3     4
3     5
3     6
6     2
6     3

Using this same logic, we know that we can cross off all of the digits that occur only once in B's column.

2     6
3     6

Now, A definitely knows what number B has because there is only one number left in B. Hence, we can conclude that the loser, B, has the integer 6.
