The answer is 142572. You have to multiply 654 and 218. To check our answer just divide 654 by 142572
Let there be 2x science and 5x art books
<span>science books sold = 2x × 0.2 = 0.4x </span>
<span>science books unsold = 2x – 0.4x = 1.6x </span>
<span>art books sold = 5x × 0.2 = x </span>
<span>art books unsold = 5x – x = 4x </span>
<span>total books unsold = 1.6x + 4x = 5.6x </span>
<span>5.6x = 2240 </span>
<span>x = 400 </span>
<span>2x science = 800 </span>
<span>and 5x art books = 2000 </span>
1:1 is the ratio of the length of one leg to the length of the other leg
9b - 12b² factorised would be 3b(3 - 4b).
You can find this as you must first find a common factor between 9b and -12b², which would be 3b. We can then take this out of the bracket and divide both terms by 3b to get the final answer, which leaves us with 3b(3 - 4b).
I hope this helps!
