Can i get some help :
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

b = \frac{7}{12}

Step-by-step explanation:

b + \frac{2}{3} = 1 \frac{1}{4} ← change to an improper fraction

b + \frac{2}{3} = \frac{5}{4}

Multiply through by 12 ( the LCM of 3 and 4 ) to clear the fractions

12b + 8 = 15 ( subtract 8 from both sides )

12b = 7 ( divide both sides by 12 )

b = \frac{7}{12}

             For each of those . . .
The 5th book is the last one remaining.

Total number of ways to arrange the 5 books is

           (5 · 4 · 3 · 2 · 1)  =  120 .

Cross off alphabetically ascending (1 way), and alphabetically
descending (1 way), and you're left with  (120 - 2)  =  118 ways.
