Answer:

there are 300 chapter books in the children's section

Step-by-step explanation:

the way you'd solve these kinds of problems is to turn it into an equation.

the ratio of 2:3 with a total of 500

<em>becomes</em>

2x + 3x = 500

2x + 3x = 500

<em>combine like terms </em>

5x = 500

<em>divide both sides of the equation by 5</em>

5x/5 = 500/5

x = 100

<em>now, substitute x in the original equation.</em>

2x + 3x = 500

200 + 300 = 500

There are <u>300</u> chapter books

Zinaida [17]

Based on the number of seats on the balcony, the number of seats in the theatre are 600 seats.

<h3>What number of seats does the theatre have?</h3>

The balcony is said to have 120 seats and these are 1/5 of the total seats in the theatre.

The total number of seats in the theatre are:

= Number of seats on balcony / Proportion of seats this represents

Solving gives:

= 120 ÷ 1/5

= 120 ÷ 0.2

= 600 seats

NARA [144]

Answer:

PB = 1.8

Step-by-step explanation:

PQ = 8 cm, BC = 10 cm and AB = 9 cm

∆ABC is similar to ∆APQ.

Therefore:

\frac{AB}{AP} = \frac{BC}{PQ}

Plug in the values

\frac{9}{AP} = \frac{10}{8}

Cross multiply

AP × 10 = 8 × 9

AP × 10 = 72

Divide both sides by 10

AP = 7.2

PB = AB - AP

PB = 9 - 7.2

PB = 1.8
