Answer:

Ratio of books to pencils is 5:7

Explanation:

In order to find the ratio of books to pencils, we need to divide the number of books by the number of pencils.

$\sf \textsf{ Ratio of books to pencils }=\frac{ \textsf{Number of books}}{\textsf{Number of pencils}}$

$\sf \textsf{Ratio of books to pencils }= (5)/( 7)$

Since the ratio cannot be simplified further, the ratio of books to pencils is 5:7.
