Question

together, miguel and rico collected 175 books. they delivered 1/5 of the books to a preschool and 2/5 of the books to a camp. the rest were divided equally between 2 libraries. how many books did each library get?

Answer 1

35

Explanation:

Total books = 175

Books delivered to the preschool = 1/5 x 175 = 35

Books delivered to the preschool = 35

Books delivered to camp = 2/5 x 175

Books delivered to camp = 70

Books delivered to the 2 libraries = 175 - 35 - 70

Books delivered to the 2 libraries = 70

Books delivered to 1 library = 70 ÷ 2

Books delivered to 1 library = 35
