Jack has a total of b hardback and paperback books in his library:
Let hardback = \(h\) and paperback = \(p\).
Rewriting the provided info as an equation: \(h + p = b\) [1]
The number of hardback books is 1/3 the number of paperback books:
\(h = \frac{1}{3}p\) [2]
3/4 of the of the paperback books are biographies:
Let biographies = \(x\).
\(\frac{3}{4}p = x\)
\(p = \frac{4}{3}x \) [3]
How many biographies, in terms of b, are in Jack's library:
Putting [2] into [1] gives: \(\frac{4}{3}p = b\)
Then placing [3] into the above equation gives: \(\frac{4}{3}* \frac{4}{3}x = b\)
\(\frac{16}{9}x = b\)
\(x = \frac{9}{16}b\)
