Question

On Sunday a library checked out 52books .if 24 of the books were fiction what is the ratio of non fiction books to fiction books checked out

Answer 1

Answer:

Ratio of Non Fiction : Fiction books = 7 : 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of books checked out =  52

Number of fiction books checked out = 24

So, number of non fiction books =  Total books -  number of fiction books

Or, number of non fiction = 52 - 24   =  28  books

Now, ratio of Non Fiction : Fiction books = 28 : 24

Solving the ratio term in its lowest form, we get

The Ratio of Non Fiction : Fiction books = 7  : 6
