Question

In the EXPLORE online library, the ratio of the number of novels to that of dictionaries is 2:3 and the total number of novels is 624. If Joe buys more novels and the ratio becomes 7:3, then how many novels have been bought in total?

Answer 1

Answer is 2184

Step-by-step explanation:

1st of all we need to know the total number of novels in the library if I have it with a ratio of one meaning:

2---------624

1----------???

(1×624)÷2 =312

Meaning with a ratio of 1 I'll have 312

Take the 312 and multiply with 7

It will give you 2184

That's the number of Novels which were bought by joe
