Question

On Sunday a library checked out 52books .if 24 of the books were fiction what is the ratio of non fiction books to fiction books checked out

Answer 1

Ratio of Non Fiction : Fiction books = 7 : 6

Explanation:

Total number of books checked out = 52

Number of fiction books checked out = 24

So, number of non fiction books = Total books - number of fiction books

Or, number of non fiction = 52 - 24 = 28 books

Now, ratio of Non Fiction : Fiction books = 28 : 24

Solving the ratio term in its lowest form, we get

The Ratio of Non Fiction : Fiction books = 7 : 6
