Question

The library has 5 mystery books on a shelf.

It has 4 times as many fiction books on
another shelf. How many fiction books are
on the shelf?

Answer 1

We have been given that the library has 5 mystery books on a shelf. It has 4 times as many fiction books on another shelf. We are asked to find number of fiction books on the shelf.

The number of fiction books will be 4 times the mystery books.

`\text{Number of fiction books}=4* \text{ Mystery books}`

`\text{Number of fiction books}=4* 5`

`\text{Number of fiction books}=20`

Therefore, there are 20 fiction books on the shelf.
