Answer:
7 fiction and 23 non- fiction
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of non-fiction read was 5 less than 4 times the number of fiction books.
Assume fiction books are x.
An equation representing this would be:
x + (4x - 5) = 30
5x - 5 = 30
5x = 30 + 5
x = 35 / 5
x = 7 fiction books
Non-fiction books:
= 4x - 5
= 4 * 7 - 5
= 23 non - fiction books
Answer:
27.2 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's set up a ratio that represents the problem:
Object's Height (ft) : Shadow (ft)
Substitute with the dimensions of the 34 foot pole and its 30 foot shadow.
34 : 30
Find the unit rate:
The unit rate is when one number in a ratio is 1.
Let's make the Shadow equal to one by dividing by 30 on both sides.
Object's Height (ft) : Shadow (ft)
34 : 30
/30 /30
1.13 : 1
Now, let's multiply by 24 on both sides to find the height of the tree.
Multiply:
Object's Height (ft) : Shadow (ft)
1.13 : 1
x24 x24
27.2 : 24
Therefore, the tree is 27.2 feet tall.
Answer:
4.8
Step-by-step explanation:
You just subtract to solve for d so,
8.2 = 3.4 + d
-3.4 -3.4
4.8 = d
