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>

Which would be used to solve this equation? Check all that apply.
puteri [66]

Answer:

multiplying both-side of the equation by 3

substituting 36 for p to check the solution

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the equation p/3 = 12, we will follow the steps below;

first multiply 3 to both-side of the equation, that is:

p/3 × 3 = 12 × 3

On the left-hand side of the equation, 3 at the numerator will cancel-out 3 at the denominator, leaving us with just p while on the right-hand side of the equation 12 will be multiplied by 3

p= 36

To check the correctness of the equation, we can substitute p = 36 back into the equation and then check, that is;

p/3 = 12

36/3 = 12

This implies p = 36 is correct
