bus in the children's section, then how many
chapter books are there?

Answer 1

Chapter books 300

Explanation:

I think that you are saying that there are a total of 500 books and how many are chapter books.

The ratio would be

`(chapter books)/(total books)` =
`(chapter books)/(total books)`

The ratio is 2:3 for the total would be 5 (2+3)

`(3)/(5)` =
`(x)/(500)`

5 x 100 = 500

3 x 100 = 300
