Katrina has 8 ribbons in all, because 2 x 4 is 8 and that is the whole amount.
Let numbers of books be 'b' and numbers of CDs be 'c'
We can set up two equations:
Equation [1] ⇒

Equation [2] ⇒

We are solving for the number of books and the number of CDs bought
When we have two equations in terms of two different variables;

and

, that we need to solve, then this becomes a simultaneous equation problem.
First, rearrange Equation [1] to make either

or

the subject:


Then we substitute

into Equation [2]






Now we know the value of

which is

, substitute this value into

we have

Answer:
Numbers of books = 13
Numbers of CDs = 7
The answer is multiplication.
15 x 4 = 60
60 divided by 4 = 15
There are 4 times as many ribbons in the large ones as in the small one.
Answer:
x ≈ 4
Step-by-step explanation:
We use tan∅ to solve this:
tan30° = x/7
7(tan30°) = x
x = 4.04145
Remember that tangent is opposite over adjacent.
