Please see below solution:
Let x = number of books that Bryan reads2x  for amanda = Amanda 3x - 4 for Colin  Amanda = 5/8(Bryan + Colin)2x = 5/8(x+3x-4)2x = 5/8(4x-4)

[16x = 5(4x-4)]816x = 20x - 20Subtract 20x from each side-4x =-20-4x/-4= -20/-4 divide -4 to eliminate the -4 in -4xx = 5
Therefore:
Bryan reads 5 books a month.
Since Amanda reads twice as many books a Bryan read so Amanda 10 books a month. 
And Colin 11 books a month. 3(5) - 4 = 11

What is the value of x? 6.75 + 3/8 x = 13 1/4
wolverine [178]
6.75 + 3x/8 = 13.25
3x/8 =13.25 - 6.75
3x/8 = 6.5
3X = 6.5 x 8
3x = 52
x= 52/3

So your answer would be 52/3 :)

About one-fifth of the population of a town has blue eyes. About two-sevenths of the population has brown eyes. What is the prob
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

Option C, 1/35

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Proportion of town that has blue eyes = 1/5 = 0.2

Proportion of town that has brown eyes = 1/7

The probability of choosing either a blue eye or a brown eye person is

Probability of blue eye individual * Probability of brown eye individual

= 1/5 * 1/7 = 1/35

Hence, option C is correct
