Question

Someone help me out with this question anyone please

Answer 1

So there are 14 books in total you want to do some simple math...

You are given that 8 of the books are new so the rest should be used and you need to figure out the used books so you need to subtract 8 used books from the total amount of books (14)

14-8 =6

So you can safely assume 6 books are used

Now a ratio is one to one so used books to new books

Used books : new books

6 : 8

Now if your told yo simplify then it’s just like simplifying a fraction to get

3 : 4

And now for used books to all books

Used books : all books

6 : 14

Simplified

3 : 7
