Question

There are 1,300 comic books, 1,200 game books and 1,000 history books in the

local library. What is the ratio of comic books to the total number of books in the
library ?

Answer 1

As-salamu alaykum! Just hoping to make sure you're answer and the explanations is pretty good.

To find the ratio of comic books to the total number of books in the library, you'll add up the number of comic books, game books, and history books to determine the total number of books, and then calculate the ratio.

Total number of books = Number of comic books + Number of game books + Number of history books

Total number of books = 1,300 + 1,200 + 1,000

Total number of books = 3,500

Now, you can find the ratio of comic books to the total number of books:

Ratio = Number of comic books / Total number of books

Ratio = 1,300 / 3,500

To simplify the ratio, you can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 100:

Ratio = (1,300 / 100) / (3,500 / 100)

Ratio = 13 / 35

So, the ratio of comic books to the total number of books in the library is 13:35.

Answer 2

Answer: 13:35

Explanation:

The total amount of books in the library would be 1,300 + 1,200 + 1,000, which adds up to 3,500.

1,300 + 1,200 + 1,000 = 2,500 + 1,000 = 3,500

The ratio of comic books to the total number of books in the library would be 1,300:3,500.

We can simplify this ratio to 13:35.
