Answer:

there are 300 chapter books in the children's section

Step-by-step explanation:

the way you'd solve these kinds of problems is to turn it into an equation.

the ratio of 2:3 with a total of 500

<em>becomes</em>

2x + 3x = 500

2x + 3x = 500

<em>combine like terms </em>

5x = 500

<em>divide both sides of the equation by 5</em>

5x/5 = 500/5

x = 100

<em>now, substitute x in the original equation.</em>

2x + 3x = 500

200 + 300 = 500

There are <u>300</u> chapter books
