The answer is 5 books.

m - the number of books sold on Monday
t - the number of books sold on Tuesday
w - the number of books sold on Wednesday

<span>On Tuesday, she sold twice as many books as she did on Monday: t = 2m
</span><span>On Wednesday, she sold 6 fewer books than she did on Tuesday: w = t - 6
</span><span>During the three days Rachel sold 19 books: m + t + w = 19

</span>t = 2m
w = t - 6 = 2m - 6
m + t + w = 19
______
Substitute t and w in the third equation:
m + 2m + 2m - 6 = 19
5m - 6 = 19
5m = 19 + 6
5m = 25
m = 25 : 5
m = 5

QUESTION A

The given multiplication problem is

\frac{39}{64} \times \frac{8}{13}

Factor each term to obtain;

\frac{13\times 3}{8\times8} \times \frac{8}{13}

Cancel out the common factors to obtain;

\frac{1\times 3}{8\times1} \times \frac{1}{1}

Simplify to get;

\frac{3}{8}

QUESTION B

The given multiplication problem is

\frac{2}{3}\times \frac{1}{5}\times \frac{4}{7}

This the same as

\frac{2\times 1\times 4}{3\times 5\times 7}

This simplifies to;

\frac{8}{105}

QUESTION C

The given problem is

\frac{3}{5}\times \frac{10}{12} \times \frac{1}{2}

This is the same as

\frac{3}{5}\times \frac{5}{6} \times \frac{1}{2}

=\frac{1}{1}\times \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{2}

This simplifies to

=\frac{1}{4}

QUESTION D.

The given expression is

\frac{4}{9}\times 54

Factor the 54 to obtain;

\frac{4}{9}\times 9\times 6

Cancel the common factors to get;

\frac{4}{1}\times 1\times 6

This simplifies to;

=24

QUESTION E

The given problem is

20\times 3\frac{1}{5}

Convert the mixed numbers to improper fraction to obtain;

=20\times \frac{16}{5}

=4\times5 \times \frac{16}{5}

Cancel the common factors to get;

=4\times1 \times \frac{16}{1}

=64

QUESTION F

The multiplication problem is

11 \times 2 \frac{7}{11}

Convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions to obtain;

11 \times \frac{29}{11}

Cancel out the common factors to get;

=1 \times \frac{29}{1}

Simplify;

=29

QUESTION G

The given problem is

5\frac{1}{3}\times 5\frac{1}{8}

Convert to improper fractions;

=\frac{16}{3}\times \frac{41}{8}

Cancel out the common factors to get;

=\frac{2}{3}\times \frac{41}{1}

=\frac{82}{3}

Convert back to mixed numbers

=27\frac{1}{3}

QUESTION H

The given expression is

10\frac{2}{3} \times 1\frac{3}{8}

Convert to improper fraction to get;

\frac{32}{3} \times \frac{11}{8}

Cancel common factors to get;

=\frac{4}{3} \times \frac{11}{1}

Simplify

=\frac{44}{3}

Give the property that justifies each step.
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

Please check the explanation below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Some of the properties are defined as:

  • <em>Distributive property</em>

a(b+c) = ab+ac

For example,

suppose a=3, b=4, c=5

3(4+5) = 3(4) + 3(5)

3(9) = 12+15

27 = 27

  • <em>Subtraction property of Equality</em>

if (a=b), then a-c = b-c

For example,

suppose a=2, b=2, c=5

if a = b ⇒ 2 = 2

then a-c = b-c ⇒ 2-5 = 2- 5 ⇒ -3 = -3

  • <em>Addition property of Equality</em>

if (a=b), then a+c = b+c

For example,

suppose a=2, b=2, c=5

if a = b ⇒ 2 = 2

then a+c = b+c ⇒ 2+3 = 2+3  ⇒ 5 = 5

  • <em>Multiplicative property of Equality</em>

if (a=b), then a×c = b×c

For example,

suppose a=2, b=2, c=5

if a = b ⇒ 2 = 2

then a×c = b×c ⇒ 2×5 = 2 × 5  ⇒ 10 = 10

  • <em>Division property of Equality</em>

if (a=b), then a÷c = b÷c

For example,

suppose a=2, b=2, c=5

if a = b ⇒ 2 = 2

then a÷c = b÷c ⇒ 2÷5 = 2 ÷ 3  ⇒ 2/5 = 2/5

Let us solve the given equation using the above properties.

7n-16=47                     Given

7n-16+16=47+16   1) Addtion property of Equality ∵ if (a=b), then a+c = b+c

7n=63                  2) simplify

n = 9                    3) Division property of Equality ∵ if (a=b), then a÷c = b÷c
