So, you want to get the mixed number, 3 3/4, as a fraction. Multiply 3 by 4 and add it to the top of the fraction, getting you the fraction 15/4. Multiply the top and bottom by 2, getting the denominator to 8 and the numerator to 30. Now, you have two fractions, 30/8 and 3/8, with common denominators. Divide 30 by 3, you get 10. 10 books for the first part. Using this explanation you'll find that the new shelf can hold 14 books.

pychu [463]

Answer:

x = 37.5

Step-by-step explanation:

By Basic Proportionality Theorem:

\frac{x}{20}  =  \frac{46 - 16}{16} \\  \\   \frac{x}{20}  =  \frac{30}{16} \\  \\  x =  \frac{20 \times 30}{16}  \\  \\ x =  \frac{600}{16}  \\  \\ x = 37.5

a.) The color of <u>Aqueous solution</u> turns <u>light green</u> from <u>blue</u>, due to formation of <u>iron sulphate</u> .

b.) The color of the <u>Aqueous solution</u> turns <u>colorless</u> from <u>blue</u> due to formation of <u>zinc sulphate</u>.

2. <u>Bells</u> used in temples aren't made up of wood because wood isn't <u>sonorous</u> and hence can't produce <u>ringing sound</u>, and hence metals are used in making bells.
