Answer: A)There are 5 nonfiction books for every 9 fiction books in the library.

Step-by-step explanation: If you do the math you realize that there are clearly less nonfiction books than fiction books.

105/5=21 and after 21*9 lines up and to check your work than

5*21=105 and 9*21=189 it is not B because the smaller number 105 is in front of the ratio 105:189 and 5:9

\boxed{y=\cfrac{1}{2}x}$
