8. A novel has 14 times as many pages as a short story. The combined number of pages in the books is 390 pages. How many pages are in each book?

The short story have 26 pages

The novel's pages is  364

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data

let the short story have x pages

so that the novel's pages will be 14x

the combined pages for novel and short story is =390 pages

Required

the individual number of pages

14x+x=390

15x=390

divide both sides by 15

x=26

the short story have 26 pages

the novel's pages will be 14(26)= 364

step-by-step explanation:

hello and welcome!

so, when we see the words "proportional" along with a table, we need to know that we're looking numbers that divide by the same thing.

looking at this table, we simply have to do a trial and error, and divide to see which numbers have the same quotient. if you look at choice a & c, they both have equal quotients for three of the numbers, with one exception, so those can't be the answer. looking at b, there is no similarity, so that can't be it. then, we see d; if you divide all the numbers in the table, you'll see that they all divide by two, which is a proportional relationship, and our answer!

also, always remember that the x will always be the number that goes into y, and somewhere behind this table, is a formula. for this specific table, the formula would be:

since our x-value is being divided by two to get the y-value. and if they were to ask for more numbers in the series, this is the formula you would use to find them.

b.my answer is b.
