So if 50 tablets are made and 2 are defective then it’s 50:2. That means for every 50 tablets are made 2 are defective. And since 50 goes into 2000 40 times, you would multiply 40 x 2 to get 80, the number defective tablets

In the city, the dust and between the library and the police station is 3 miles less than twice the distance between the police

alina1380 [7]

Answer:

7 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the distance between the library and police station x. Then, the distance between the police station and fire station would be 3 less than twice x. Twice means multiply by 2 so twice x is 2 * x = 2x and 3 less than means that you subtract 3 so 3 less than 2x is 2x - 3. Now, we know that x = 5 so all we have to do now is substitute x = 5 into 2x - 3, therefore, the answer is 2 * 5 - 3 = 7 miles.
