Answer: If he has 3 mystery books, and those are 1/8 of his whole collection, he has 24 books.

Step-by-step explanation:

3 = 1/8 × x

multiply both sides by the reciprocal of 1/8 which is 8/1 ("flipped fraction")

8 × 3 = 8/1(1/8) x When you multiply a fraction by its reciprocal, it produces 1, so it "cancels" in the multiplication

24 = x 

This may seem complicated, but understanding the process will help you solve more complicated questions like this in the future, I hope.

If each acute angle of a parallelogram measures 59 degrees, then what is the masure of each obtuse angle?

xenn [34]

A parallelogram has to have a total of 360 degrees in angles, so we take 59 x 2 to get 118, we then subtract 118 from 360, 360 - 118 = 242, we then divide by two because a parallelogram has 2 obtuse angles, giving us an answer of 121 degrees. Hope this helps
