Answer:

Non fiction : Total number of books

= 14 : 42

= 1:3

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of books = 42 books

Non fiction books = 14 books

The ratio of the number of non-fiction books to the total number of books is :

Non fiction : Total number of books

= 14 : 42

Further simplified

= 1:3

Lavania is studying the growth of a population of fruit flies in her laboratory. After 6 days she had nine more than five times
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

Lavania observed 39 fruit flies after 6 days of observation

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of fruit flies on the first day of Lavania's study.

After 6 days she had nine more than five times as many fruit flies as when she began the study.

Five times as many fruit flies as when she began the study = 5x

Nine more than five times as many fruit flies as when she began the study=5x+9

The expression to find the population of fruit flies Lavania observed after 6 days is 5x+9

If she observes 20 fruit flies on the first day of the study, then x=6, then

5x+9=5\cdot 6+9=30+9=39

The slope of the line below is -1/7.
KatRina [158]

Answer:

y = (-1/7)x + (24/7)

Step-by-step explanation:

The general structure of a line in slope-intercept form is:

y = mx + b

In this form, "m" represents the slope and "b" represents the y-intercept.

You have been given the value of the slope (m = -1/7). You have also been given values for "x" and "y" from the point (3,3). Therefore, you can substitute these values in for their variables and simplify to find the value of the y-intercept.

y = mx + b                                    <----- Slope-intercept form

y = (-1/7)x + b                                <----- Plug -1/7 into "m"

3 = (-1/7)(3) + b                             <----- Plug in "x" and "y" values from point (3,3)

3 = -3/7 + b                                  <----- Multiply -1/7 and 3

24/7 = b                                      <----- Add 3/7 to both sides

Now that you know that m = -1/7 and b = 24/7, you can determine the formula satisfying the given information.

y = (-1/7)x + (24/7)

Mrs.Browns rectangular kitchen is 10 ft wide and.16 ft long, if she creates a scale drawing.With a length of 4 inches, what woul
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

2.5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

1 feet = 12 inches

The length is 16 ft x 12 = 192 inches

The length was scales by an unknown measure which i would represent with x . The equation is as follows

192 inches x a = 4 feet

a = 48

The kitchen was scaled by 48

10 x 12 = 120 inches

120/48 = 2.5 inches
