Question

If 2/3of all the books in a library are works of friction , find the ratio of fiction to that of non fiction books in the library

Answer 1

Answer:

2 : 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let total number of books be "x"

Then,

Fiction books = 2x/3

Non-fiction books = x - 2x/3 = (3x - 2x)/3 = x/3

Ratio of fiction to that of non-fiction books is

= 2x/3 : x/3

= 2 : 1
