Please help, find AB

Rom4ik [11]

AB would equal 3.57 or 3.6 rounded as your directions ask because the sides are supposed to be proportional. When you do 21/5, you get 4.2. Then, you can just do 15/4.2 and get 3.57.

A box contains 15 lbs.of books. There are 20 books in the box. How much does each book weigh?

Setler79 [48]

Answer:

0.75 lbs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay, this one is more simple. To find the weight of each book, You have to solve this division problem:

15/20

If you divided it the other way around, you would be saying each book weighed 1.33 pounds. That wouldn't be correct because then you would have over 20 lbs. of books, when you only have 15.

So, the answer is 0.75 pounds.
