Solve the inequality. w/-2<8

In the library at lenape elmentary school, there are 3/8 as, many fiction books as there are nonfiction books. There are 44 book

N76 [4]

Answer:

12 fiction books.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let b represent number of non-fiction books.

We have been given that in the library at Lenape elementary school, there are 3/8 as many fiction books as there are nonfiction books. So number of fiction books would be $\frac{3}{8}x$ .

We are also told that there are 44 books in school library. We can represent this information in an equation as:

$x+\frac{3}{8}x=44$

Let us solve for x.

$\frac{8x}{8}+\frac{3}{8}x=44$

$\frac{8x+3x}{8}=44$

$\frac{11x}{8}=44$

$\frac{11x}{8}\cdot \frac{8}{11}=44\cdot\frac{8}{11}$

$x=4\cdot 8$

$x=32$

Therefore, there are 32 non fiction books in the library.

Number of fiction books would be $\frac{3}{8}x\Rightarrow \frac{3}{8}*32=3*4=12$

Therefore, there are 12 fiction books in the library.

Complete the table for the equation y = x<br> 2. Then use the table to graph the equation.

Brrunno [24]

The coordinates (starting from left) are
(-2,-4)(-1,-3)(0,-2)(1,-1)(2,0)

to find the y..
- ur given y=x-2
- u have all the x values on the table

so say u wanna find the y for -2, just plug it into the equation y = x - 2
so then it’ll be y = (-2) - 2
the only reason u can plug in the -2 is bc the -2 is a x value

same logic for the other numbers on the table, to find the y value for -1 just plug in -1 into y = x - 2
so then it’ll be y = (-1) - 2

A cake recipe calls for 550 grams of flour. About how many pounds of flour do you need? Use the conversion factors StartFractio

The question is:

A cake recipe calls for 550 grams of flour. About how many pounds of flour do you need? Use the conversion factors (1 ounce)/(28.4 grams) and (1 pound)/(16 ounces).

Answer:

About 1.2 pounds of flour is needed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the cake recipe calls for 550 grams, we want to determine about how many pounds of flour we need.

This simply means we want to convert 550 grams to pounds.

First, we were given (1 ounce)/(28.4 grams)

This implies that

1/28.4 = x/550 ..............................(1)

Where x is 550 grams in ounce.

Solving (1)

28.4x = 550

=> x = 550/28.4

≈ 19.3662

That is 550 grams is equal to 19.3662 ounce

Next, we are given the ratio (1 pound)/(16 ounce). We then convert 19.3662 ounce to pound

Let y be 19.3662 ounce in pound

=> 1/16 = y/19.3662

16y = 19.3662

y = 19.3662/16

≈ 1.2

That is 19.3662 ounce is equal to 1.2 pounds.

Therefore, 550 grams is equal to 1.2 pounds, and it is the amount of flour needed.
