Question

On a book shelf there are books with green cover and brown cover. The fraction 2/3 represents the green cover books to brown cover books. If there 18 green cover books, how many are brown cover books? *​

Answer 1

Answer:

27

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'x' as the multiple of 2 & 3.

ratio=2x : 3x

It is given that books with green color are 18 in number.

The ratio is 2x.

So, we come to know that : 2x=18

x= $\frac{18}{2}$ = 9

If x = 9, the books with green cover = 3x = 3×9 = 27
