Given that Nicholas has a 115 fantasy and science fiction books which is 46% of his collection.
Now we have to find what is total number of books in his collection.
Let number of books in Nicholas collection = x
then number of fantasy and science fiction books = 46% of x = 0.46x
We already know that he has 115 fantasy and science fiction books, so both values will be equal and give equation:
0.46x=115
now we can solve this equation to find the answer.
x= 250
Hence final answer is:
Nicholas has 250 books in his collection.
The 1st one
Well it's the same as normal exponents so you multiply 2/3 x 2/3 x 2/3 x 2/3 x 2/3
5×21/-1+9
105/-1 +9
-105 +9
-96
hope that helps
Given:
- Lily bought 20.24 pounds of grapefruit.
- The lightest grapefruit weighed 1.2 pounds.
- The heaviest grapefruit weighed 1.8 pounds.
To Find:
An estimate of the number of grapefruits she bought.
Answer:
The best estimate is that Lily bought 13 grapefruits.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the lightest grapefruit weighed 1.2 pounds and the heaviest one weighed 1.8 pounds, we can take the mean or average of these two weights to estimate the weight of any of the grapefruits that she bought.
That is, we can say that each grapefruit must weigh something close to the average value.
The average can be found as
Thus, the average grapefruit from the bundle she bought must weigh around 1.5 pounds.
Now, given that the total weight of the grapefruit she bought is 20.24 pounds.
By the Unitary Method,
Weight of One Grapefruit = Total Weight of All Grapefruits ÷ Number of Grapefruits
So, number of grapefruits she bought = Total weight ÷ weight of one grapefruit
In other words,
number of grapefruit = 
Rounding off, we may say that Lily bought 13 grapefruits.

A. 1
Step-by-step explanation:
3(x+1)=-2(x-1)+6
