Solution:
we are given that
In the library at Lenape Elementary School, there are 3/8 as many fiction books as there are nonfiction books.
There are 44 books in the school library.
we have been asked to find How many books are fiction books?
Let there are x non fiction books in the library. Then there will be fiction books.
Hence we can write
Hence there are 32 non-fiction books in the library.
and 44-32=12 fiction books in the library.
Answer:
6N = T
They will take 96 minutes to add 16 seats.
Step-by-step explanation:
In the factory, the workers add bicycle seats at a rate of 2 seats every 12 minutes.
If the number of seats they add is N and the number of minutes it takes is T, then they are proportional i.e. N ∝ T.
⇒ N = kT ........... (1)
Now, N = 2 for T = 12 minutes.
So, from equation (1), 2 = 12k
⇒
Therefore, the equation (1) becomes
⇒ 6N = T ......... (2)
Now, for N = 16, from equation (2) we get,
T = 16 × 6 = 96 minutes.
Therefore, they will take 96 minutes to add 16 seats. (Answer)
Answer:
<em>The sea cow can stay under water for 16 minutes.</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
A hippopotamus can stay under water for 15 minutes.
A sea cow can stay under water minutes and this is 11 minutes longer than one-third the time a hippopotamus can.
So, "11 minutes longer than one-third the time a hippopotamus can" means:
Thus, the equation will be:
Now, solving the above equation, we will get.........
So, the sea cow can stay under water for 16 minutes.
