Answer:

84 books were taken to the market.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's turn the word problem into algebra.

We can rewrite 3:4 as 3x:4x since we don't know the actual individual numbers, solely that it is divisible by these numbers.

Next, since we know 3x = 36 because of the question, we can solve for x using the division property of equality and get x=12. Once we have x=12 we can find the number of books the other trader has - 4x - by simply multiplying 12 by 4 to get 48 books. Now all we need to do is find the total number of books that both traders have and to do this all we need to do is add 36 to 48 to get a final answer of 84 books.

Answer:

3\frac{5}{12}

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2><u>When adding fractions, you always look for LCD.</u></h2><h2><u /></h2><h2><u>(Least Common Denominator)</u></h2>

<u>So since we have 3 and 4 as our denominators, find the LCD:</u>

LCD of 3 and 4 is 12

Meaning the 12 is our denominator.

We can take out A. because it does not follow the denominator of 12.

<u>Next, what you is multiply the numerator to like what you did with the denominators:</u>

\frac{8 * 4}{12}  + \frac{3 * 3}{12}

==> \frac{32}{12}  + \frac{9}{12}

<u>Add them together to get:</u>

\frac{32+9}{12}

==> \frac{41}{12}

<u>Simplify:</u>

3\frac{5}{12}

This is an equation of degrees 6 so it will have a total of 6 roots.If you draw the 
 graph  on calculator  it touches the x axis at x = -2 and x = 2

If we plug in x =2 and x = -2  they fit the equation .

Also as the graph just touches the x axis this shows that  x = 2 and x = -2 are duplicated 
That gives us the 4 roots and also the  +/- 2i    giving a total of 6 roots.

The second option is correct
