He knows that the library has four times as many fiction books as resource books and half as many nonfiction books as fiction books.

Answer:

200 resource books

800 fiction books

400 nonfiction books

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's define x as the amount of resource books that are in the library. As he has four times as many fiction books as resource books, that means he has 4*x fiction books.

We also know he has half as many nonfiction books as fiction books, that is 1/2*4*x = 2*x nonfiction books.

We just need to find out the value of x.

We know there are 1,400 books in total and there are just 3 types of books. Therefore, if we sum all of them, we get the 1,400.

Written in math language, that is

x + 4x + 2x = 1,400

7x = 1,400

We divide by 7 on both sides and we get

7/7x = 1,400/7

x = 200

Now we replace the x with 200 to know how many books he has of each type:

Resource books = x = 200

Fiction books = 4*x = 4*200 = 800

Nonfiction books = 2*x = 2*200 = 400

Therefore, there are 200 resource books, 800 fiction books and 400 nonfiction books in the library.

The tape diagram is attached as an image.

A population p of migrating butterflies changes over time it is represented by the equation p=100,000*4/5 where w is the number
Trava [24]

Given that,

A population p of migrating butterflies changes over time it is represented by the equation

p=100,000\times (\dfrac{4}{5})^w Where w is number of weeks.

To find,

The population after 2 weeks.

Solution,

We have,

p=100,000\times (\dfrac{4}{5})^w

Put w = 2 in the above equation.

p=100,000\times (\dfrac{4}{5})^2\\\\=100,000\times \dfrac{16}{25}\\\\=64000

So, the population after 2 weeks is 64000 .

M5-3/2x less than or equal to 1/3
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer: choice A

Step-by-step explanation:

by rearranging the initial inequality you’ll get

\frac{3}{2} x\leq 5-\frac{1}{3}

which equals

\frac{3}{2} x\leq\frac{14}{3}

then multiply both sides by 2/3

x\leq \frac{28}{9}
