Question

On six bookshelves there are 72 books per shelf. How many books are there altogether? If 1/3 of
these are non-fiction, how many fictional books are there?

​

Answer 1

Answer:

Hii

Step-by-step explanation:

Books on 6shelf= 72*6= 432

Books are non fiction= 1/3*432= 144

Books are fiction = 432-144= 288

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

No. of bookshelves=6

No. if books per shelves =72

therefore, total no. of books= 72×6

= 432 books

non-fiction books are 1/3

therefore fiction books= 2/3

because 1/3+2/3=3
