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

Consider the line y = 1/4 - 5/4 x<br> Slope of a parallel line<br> Slope of a perpendicular line
gladu [14]

Answer:

parallel line slop2 = -5/4

perpendicular line slope = 4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

If 2 lines are parallel, they will have equal slopes.

Therefore, the slope of a line parallel to y = 1/4 - 5/4 x will be -5/4

If 2 lines are perpendicular, their slopes are negative reciprocals of each other.  So the slope of the perpendicular line = -1 ÷ -5/4 = 4/5
