The answer to your question would be 216.

If 54 makes up 25 percent, then x makes up 100 percent. Using this phrase we can write a proportion or use equivalent fractions.

54/25= x/100

A whole is 100 percent and we know 25 percent. Then it is simple to go from 25 percent to 100 percent. Simply multiply 25 times 4 to get 100 percent. Since we multiplied the denominator by four, then we have to multiply the numerator (54) by 4. 54 times 4 is 216.

25% is 1/4.

This means that 1/4 of the books in the library is 54, so just multiply 54 by 4, which gives you 100%, or all of the books. 54 times 4 is equal to 216, so there are 216 books in the library.

What is the answer to this ?

harina [27]

Answer:

The answer is option 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve x, you have to make x the subject, by multiplying each sides by 5, to get rid of 5 on the left side.

$\frac{x}{5} = 8$

$\frac{x}{5} \times 5 = 8 \times 5$

$x = 40$

How to change improper fraction to a mixed number

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation :Answer

To chance an improper fraction into a mixed number first divide the numerator by the denominator

Example 11/5 divide 11 by 5 and you get 2.2 that means that 5 goes into 11 twice with some leftover which means the answer is going to be 2 plus a fraction

To get the fraction you multiply the denominator by the whole number you found (5*2) and subtract the numerator by that new number

5*2=10 11-10=1

Your new fraction is now 2 1/5

(05.03)(picture included)Sue has to cut her grandma's grass this weekend and wants to know exactly how much area she will be cut

kifflom [539]

Answer:

Solution given:

BD=35ft

AC=43ft

AB=8ft

EF=33-8=25ft

AE=26ft

Now

area of right angled triangle ∆AEF

=½(EF*AE)=½(25×25)=312.5ft²

area of parallel trapezoid=½AB(BD+AC)

=½*8(35+43)=312ft²

So

Area of polygon : 312.5+312=624.5ft² is a required answer.
