Answer: Because of the total number of DVDs given (36)the number of individual type of DVD are coming in decimals such that

Number of comedy films =11.07

Number of Action films =22.15

and Number of horror films =2.78

I also solved using total number of DVDs as 26 and the results were as follows

Number of comedy films =8

Number of acton films =16

and Number of horror films =2

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of DVD collection = 36

ratio of the type of DVD =comedy films to action to horror = 4:8: 1

Total ratio =4+8+1 = 13

Number of comedy films = ratio of comedy films/ total ratio x Total DVD collection

= 4/13 x 36= 11,.07 rounded to 11 comedy films

Number of action films = ratio of action films/ total ratio x Total DVD collection

= 8/13 x 36= 22.15 rounded to 22 action films

Number of horror films = ratio of horror films/ total ratio x Total DVD collection

1/13 x 36=2.78 rounded t0 3 Horror movies .

The numbers of each DVD are giving decimal numbers .

Using

Total number of DVD collection as 26.

we have that

Number of comedy films= 4/13 x 26 = 8

Number of action films= 8/13 x 26= 16

Number of Horror films = 1/13 x 26 = 2
