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

The Sum Of 3 Consecutive integers is 138, What Are The Integers?
puteri [66]

If the integers were all the same, then each one would be 1/3 of 138 = 46 .

They're not all the same, but they're consecutive, so you can find them easily.
Just start with your 3 copies of 46, take ' 1' away from one copy, and add it
to another one. You haven't changed their sum. You just made one of your
copies 1 less than 46, and you made another one of them 1 more than 46. 
Now you have 45, 46, and 47, and that sure looks like an answer to me.
Isn't that easy ... you only had to use some brain instead of a lot of messy
algebra.  That's what 'Brainly' might be all about, I guess.

Tim and Cynthia leave Cynthia's house at the same time. Tim drives north and Cynthia drives west. Tim's average speed is 10 mph
RSB [31]

Answer:

  54.2 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the drivers leave at the same time and travel in directions 90° from each other, their separation speed can be found using the Pythagorean theorem. Let c represent Cynthia's average speed. Then (c-10) will represent Tim's average speed. Their combined separation speed is 70 miles per hour, so we can write ...

  70² = c² +(c -10)²

  4900 = 2c² -20c +100 . . . . eliminate parentheses

  c² -10c -2400 = 0 . . . . . . . . divide by 2; put in standard form

  (c -5)² -2425 = 0 . . . . . . . . . rearrange to vertex form

  c = 5 ±5√97 . . . . . . . . . . . . solve for c, simplify radical

  c ≈ 54.244 ≈ 54.2 . . . . . . . use the positive solution

Cynthia's average speed was 54.2 miles per hour.

Answer:

  • Circumference: 12.56 yd
  • Area: 12.56 yd²

Step-by-step explanation:

The circumference is given by ...

  C = πd

  C = (3.14)(4 yd) = 12.56 yd

The area is given in terms of diameter by ...

  A = (π/4)d²

  A = (3.14/4)(4 yd)² = 12.56 yd²
