6. The public library has volunteers shelve books after they have been

returned. When Lisa arrives to volunteer, there are 5 non-fiction books for
every 9 fiction books. If there are 117 fiction books to shelve, then how
many non-fiction books need to be shelved? HELP ME

Answer:

65 non fiction books

Explanation:

so if there is 5 non fiction for every 9 fiction books then you take 117 divide it by 9 you get 13 then take 13 and multiply it by 5 which is 65 non fiction books.

Hope this helps!!
