Answer: The number of books she should put on each shelf = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Total books = 116

Total shelves = 16

To determine : The number of books she should put on each shelf, we first divides the total number of books by the total shelf.

$116\div 16=7\dfrac14$

So she can put 7 books in each shelf such that (7x16=) 112 books got placed and (116-112=)4 books left.

Hence, The number of books she should put on each shelf = 7.

Find x helpppppppppppp

lidiya [134]

$|2x - 1| = | - x - 2|$

Thus ;

$2x - 1 = - x - 2$

Add both sides x

$2x + x - 1 = - x + x - 2$

$3x - 1 = - 2$

Add both sides 1

$3x - 1 + 1 = - 2 + 1$

$3x = - 1$

Divide both sides by 3

$\frac{3x}{3} = \frac{ - 1}{3} \\$

$x = - \frac{1}{3} \\$

<h2>Or </h2>

$2x - 1 = - ( - x - 2)$

$2x - 1 = x + 2$

Subtract both sides x

$2x - x - 1 = x - x + 2$

$x - 1 = 2$

Add both sides 1

$x - 1 + 1 = 2 + 1$

$x = 3$

hichkok12 [17]

The total miles are given by multiplying the miles per week and the number of weeks:
total = 10*52 = 520
so the total miles she will jog are 520 miles

Needed help for my math please

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

$\frac{a}{a}$ = 1 ( any value divided by itself = 1 )

(b)

$\frac{a}{1}$ = a ( any value divide by 1 is the value itself )

(c)

$\frac{a}{b}$ × $\frac{c}{d}$ = $\frac{ac}{bd}$

The product of 2 fractions is the product of the numerators divided by the product of the denominators

(d)

$\frac{a}{b}$ ÷ $\frac{c}{d}$ = $\frac{ad}{bc}$

To divide 2 fractions, leave the first fraction, change division to multiplication and turn the second fraction upside down, that is

$\frac{a}{b}$ ÷ $\frac{c}{d}$ = $\frac{a}{b}$ × $\frac{d}{c}$ = $\frac{ad}{bc}$

(e)

$\frac{a}{d}$ + $\frac{b}{d}$ = $\frac{a+b}{d}$

Since the fractions have a like denominator, add the numerators leaving the denominator. This applies to subtraction also

(f)

$\frac{a}{d}$ - $\frac{b}{d}$ = $\frac{a-b}{d}$

See explanation for part (e)
