ANSWER

There are 16 fiction books

EXPLANATION

Let the number of nonfiction books be

n

Then the number of fiction books is

f=\frac{2n}{5}

If there are 56 books in the library, then

n + f= 56

This implies that,

n + \frac{2n}{5} = 56

Multiply through by 5 to get,

5n + 2n = 280

7n= 280

Divide through by 7 to get,

n = \frac{280}{7}

n= 40

Therefore the number of fiction books

f=\frac{2\times40}{5}=16

Or

f=56 - 40 = 16

How do I go about to understand the problem
raketka [301]
You just have to multiply the numerators and the denominators.
The answer is 14 over 56. Then, you need to simplify the question.
So, since 56 is divisible by 14, divide the numerator and the denominator by 14.
Then you get your answer, which is one-fourth.
Hope that helped!

BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

Option: B is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • An ISOMETRIC TRANSFORMATION (RIGID MOTION) is a transformation that preserves the distances and/or angles between the pre-image and image.
  • The isometric transformations are reflection, rotation and translation and combinations of them such as the glide, which is the combination of a translation and a reflection.

Hence, option B is correct.
