We cannot simplify it because the denominator does not have a common factor with the numarator.
<h3>
Answer: 40 novels</h3>
================================================
Work Shown:
n = number of novels
(32 ebooks)/(n novels) = 4/5
32/n = 4/5
32*5 = n*4 ............ cross multiply
160 = 4n
4n = 160
n = 160/4 .............. dividing both sides by 4
n = 40
There are 40 novels.
0.004 is read as four-thousandths, so write it as fraction using a 4 in the numerator and a 1000 in the denominator. Then reduce it.
0.004 = 4/1000 = 1/250
0.004 hours = 1/250 hours
18q+18=180
-18. -18
18q=162
/18. /18
q=9
3q=27
