Answer:
Total = 800 books
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that,
In a library, there are 3 non-fiction books for every 7 fiction books. It means that the ratio of non-fiction books to the fiction books is 3:7.
There if the library has 240 non-fiction books.
Let non fiction books are 3x and fiction books are 7x.
ATQ,
3x=240
x=80
Fiction books = 7x = 7(80) = 560
Total no of books = fiction books + non-fiction books
= 240 + 560
=800
Hence, the total no of books are 800.
