Question

On saturday a library checked out 52 books .If 24of the books. Were fiction what is the ratio of non fiction books to fiction books chexked out

Answer 1

The ratio of non fiction to fiction is

28:24.

Explanation:

Since there are 24 fiction books you subtract that number from the total number of books (52-24) which totals 28. So that means that there are 28 non fiction books. Because the ration is non fiction to fiction the number of non fiction books goes first then the number of fiction.
