Answer:

32 paperback books

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Width of hardcover books = 1 1/2 inches

Width of paperback books = 3/4 inches

Number of hardcover books already on shelf = 8

Total width of shelf = 3 feets

1 foot = 12 inches

Hence, total shelf width in inches = (12 * 3) = 36 inches

Total width of hardcover books = (8 * 1 1/2) = 12 inches

Total shelf width left = (36 - 12) inches = 24 inches

Maximum number of paperback books :

Total shelf width left / paperback width

24 inches / (3/4)inches = 32 paperback books

Here, I'll have a try:
This expression is the multiplication of a binomial and a trinomial.. The binomial has two terms, while the trinomial has three terms. Use the distributive property of multiplication, 
Step 1, multiply every term of the trinomial with the first term of the binomial, then multiple every term of the trinomial with the second term of the binomial. Use parenthesis to separate each multiplication to avoid confusion.
step 3, simply every multiplication 
step 4, add up like trms

Answer:

\sf D) \quad s=8 \frac{1}{4}t

Step-by-step explanation:

  • t  = time (in hours) → this is the independent variable
  • s = total area cleaned (in square feet) → this is the dependent variable (as the number of square feet cleaned depends on the number of hours worked)

Therefore, if the rate of cleaning is 8 1/4 square feet per hour, the relationship between s and t is:

\sf s=8 \frac{1}{4}t
