Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let k be the constant of proportionality.  Then we use it as follows:

2k + 3k = 500, or 5k = 500, or k = 100.

Thus, the number of picture books is 2(100) = 200, and the number of chapter books is 3(100) = 300.

As checks:  200 + 300 = 500 (books), and

200

-------- = 2/3, as specified in the problem.

300

the combined score for yakubu in geography, economics and science is 194. he scored twice as many marks in economics as in geogr
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

The scores of geography, economics and science are 38, 76, 80 respectively.

Let Yakubu scored x marks in geography.

Given that the score of him in economics is twice of the score of him in geography.

So, his score in economics = 2x

Again it is given that, the score in science is 4 more than the score in economics.

So the score in science = 2x+4

According to question the combined total score is 194. So the suitable equation is,

x+2x+2x+4 = 194

Solving the equation we get,

5x+4 = 194

5x = 194-4

5x = 190

x = 190/5

x = 38

So the score in geography = 38

the score in economics = 2x = 2*38 = 76

the score in science = 2x+4 = 2*38+4 = 76+4 = 80

Hence the scores of geography, economics and science are 38, 76, 80 respectively.
