Answer:

<u>There are 300 chapter books and 200 picture books in the children's section at the local library.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

Number of books in the children's section at the local library = 500

Ratio 2:3 for picture books and chapter books

2. How many chapter books are in the section?

We will use the Rule of Three Simple for answering this question, this way:

Chapter books       Total books

3                                  5

x                                 500

x * 5 = 500 * 3

5x = 1,500

x = 1,500/5

x = 300

<u>There are 300 chapter books and 200 picture books in the children's section at the local library.</u>

Question in the image
Komok [63]

Answer:

0.4

Step-by-step explanation:

consider this like some lines overlapping each other.

one line (A) is 0.5 long, the other (B) 0.4 long.

together they are 0.8 long.

that means that they overlap at a length of 0.1 (they share a segment 0.1 long).

of the combined line of 0.8 that has 0.1 of a joined segment, the complimentary part of B is therefore 0.4 (0.8 minus the original length of B).

Answer:

4x+20

Step-by-step explanation:

You distribute 4 to x and 5. Which means you just multiply 4 to x and 5 since they're in the parenthesis. 4 times x is 4x and 4 times 5 is 20.
