<h2>Answer:</h2>

The number of books in the math section are:

                             12662 books.

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

The total number of books in the store are: 75972

Now, it is given that:

  • The science section represents 1/3 of the total books.

i.e. The number of science books are: (1/3)×75972

                                                           =   25324 books.

  • Also,of the remaining books, 75% are business.

This means that the Remaining books are:

Total books-Number of science books

=   75972-25324

=  50648

i.e.

Number of business books are: 75% of 50648

                                                = 0.75× 50648

                                                =  37986

  • Hence, the number of books in the math section are:  Total books-Number of books in the other two sections

=  75972-(37986+ 25324)

=  12662 books.

Given that total number of books in the book store = 75972

Given that total number of books in science section =\frac{1}{3} rd of total books =\frac{1}{3}*75972 = 25324

Then remaining number of books = 75972 - 25324 = 50648


Given that 75% of the remaining books are in business section = 75% of 50648 = 0.75*50648 = 37986

Then number of books in the math section = 50648 - 37986 =  12662


Hence final answer is 12662 books in the math section.

What the algebraic rule for a dilation with a scale factor of 3
Marianna [84]

Step-by-step explanation & answer:

When a dilation in the coordinate plane has the origin as the center of dilation, we can find points on the dilated image by multiplying the x and y coordinates of the original figure by the scale factor.

For example, if the scale factor is "k", the algebraic representation of the dilation is

(x, y) → (kx, ky)

For enlargements, k > 1 and for reductions, k < 1.

Hope this is what you needed:)

You are downloading songs to your mp3 player the ratio of pop songs to rock songs is 5 to 4 you download 40 pop songs how many r
dmitriy555 [2]
The ratio of pop songs to rock songs you download is 5:4, and 40 are pop songs. You want to find out how many rock songs there are.
First, add the ratios together: 5+4=9. This means that 9 will be your denominator, so 5/9 songs are pop and 4/9 songs are rock.
Now you know that pop songs account for 5/9 of the songs, this means that 40 is 5/9 of the total songs. 
To find out how much 4/9 is, you need to divide 40 by 5 to get 1/9 and times that number by 4 to get 4/9:
40÷5=8×4=32 songs are rock songs
