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.

The rack has 10 meters of shelving, equivalent to 1000 centimeters.
2 meters are already used.
There are 800 centimeters of shelving remaining.

To find the total number of cereal boxes needed to use the whole rack, we just need to use the rule of three: If 12 cereal boxes occupies 60 centimeters of shelving, 800 centimeters would require how many cereal boxes

$n=800cm \times \frac{12 \ boxes}{60cm} =160 \ boxes$

Therefore, Austing needs 160 boxes to complete the rack.
