ram kumar is an owner of a bookshop . he sells 312 books on the certain day , out of which 216 are in english and remaining are in hindi . find the ratio of the number of english books to the number of hindi books

Answer 1

ram kumar sold total books on a certain day
= 312
english books = 216
let the hindi books be x
then
eng books + hindi books = 312
216. + x. = 312
x = 312-216
x = 96
so hindi books = 96

ratio of no of eng books to hindi books

= no of eng books : no of hindi books
= 216 : 96
= 27 : 12
