A ratio is the number of one object of interest compared to the number of another object of interest that can be displayed using a fractrion. In this case you're looking for number of fiction books vs. the nunber of overall books read and that fraction is 25/30 that can be simplified to 5/6 or for every 6 books she reads 5 are fiction
