Answer:

The number of fiction books is <u>500</u> and non fiction books is <u>1500</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total book library contains = 2000.

There are 3 times as many non fiction books as fiction books.

Now, to determine the number of non fiction books and fiction books.

Let the fiction books be x.

And the non fiction books be 3x.

Total books = 2000.

Now, to get the number of non fiction books and fiction books we put an equation:

3x+x=2000.

4x=2000.

Dividing both sides by 4 we get:

x=500.

Fiction books = 500.

Non fiction books = 3x=3\times 500=1500.

Therefore, the number of fiction books is 500 and non fiction books is 1500.
