Answer:

<h2>16</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the ratio of fiction to nonfiction books in a classroom library is 2 to 3, then the total ratio of both books will be 2+3 = 5. If there are 24 books non fiction books in the library, to get the amount of fictionbooks that are there we will follow the following steps.

First we will calculate the total number of books in the shelf;

3/5 * Total number of books = total non fiction books

3/5 * Total number of books = 24

3*Total number of books = 5*24

3*Total number of books = 120

Total number of books = 120/3

Total number of books = 40

Therefore there are 40 total of books on the shelf.

Total number of fiction books = 2/5 * 40

Total number of fiction books = 2* 8

Total number of fiction books = 16 books

<em>Hence there are 16 fiction books on the shelf.</em>

What is the smallest solution to this equation?​
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

x = - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\frac{2}{3} x² = 24 ( multiply both sides by 3 )

2x² = 72 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x² = 36 ( take the square root of both sides )

x = ± \sqrt{36} ← note plus or minus

x = ± 6

solutions are x = - 6, x = + 6

The smallest solution is x = - 6

bonufazy [111]

Answer:

110

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = rate #1 and then 155-x=rate #2.

15x + 5(155-x) = 1225

15x - 5x + 775 - 1225

10x = 450

x = 45, second rate is 110
