Answer:
90 hardcover books
Step-by-step explanation:
We can solve this by setting up a couple of equations.
Let's allow x to represent the number of paperbacks Tim owns, and allow y to represent the number of hardcover books he owns.
Using the information in the question, we can write the equations:
1)x = 4y-3
2) x+y=447
Let's rearrange equation 1 so that it is in standard form:
x-4y=-3
And then let's multiply equation 2 by 4 so that we can cancel out y when we solve the system of equations:
4(x+y=447)
4x+4y=1,788
Then we can add the two equations and solve for x:
1) x-4y=-3
+ 2)4x+4y=1,788
------------------------------------
5x=1,785
x=357
So now we now the number of paperback books Tim has is 357. Let's plug this into one of the original equations to solve for the number of hardcover books (y):
357+y=447
y=90
And now we know that Tim owns 90 hardcover books.
Answer: 0.685 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
I believe you would calculate this like so;
We want 18% less than 100% of that amount therefore the single multiplier we would use is as follows:
(100% - 18%) = 82%
Which alternatively = 0.82
Does that make sense? If not I can explain it a bit more. Please let me know.

Answer:
3 containers
Step-by-step explanation:
1 gallon = 4 quarts
2 containers is 8 quarts, that is too little
3 containers is 12 quarts
therefore Mrs. Nava needs 3 containers to have enough ice cream
