Total length of the board = 30 inch
Length of,
-- First piece = x
-- Second piece = 4x
-- Third piece = 5x
5x + 4x + x = 30
10x = 30
x = 3
Therefore, the lengths of:
-- First piece = 3 inch
-- Second piece = 4*3 = 12 inch
-- Third piece = 5*3 = 15 inch
Round all of the numbers to the nearest 10 then solve the problem like normal
Answer:
The coefficients are: 2, 12, 4.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
There are 1500 non fiction books and 500 fiction books currently in the store.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Total Number of books = 2000
Let the number of fiction books be 'x'.
Now given:
There are 3 times as many non-fiction books as fiction books.
Number of non fiction books = 
We need to find the number of non-fiction and fiction books.
Solution:
Now we know that;
Total Number of books is equal to sum of the number of non-fiction and fiction books.
framing in equation form we get;

Dividing both side by 4 we get;

Number of fiction books = 500
Number of non fiction books = 
Hence There are 1500 non fiction books and 500 fiction books currently in the store.
