(a) The fraction of books that are fiction is 2/3.
(b) The fraction of books that are non-fiction is 1/3.
To find the fraction of fiction and non-fiction books on a bookshelf:
Given: A bookshelf has 96 books. 64 of the books are fiction and the rest are non-fiction books. (a)Fraction of fiction books =?
(b)Fraction of non-fiction books =?
Now,
As given, we have,
The total number of books on a bookshelf = 96
Out of 96, the total number of fiction books = 64
So,
The remaining number of books = non-fiction books = 96-64 = 32
(a) Fraction of fiction books = fiction books/total books
= 64/96
On simplification,
= 2/3
(b) Fraction of non-fiction books = non-fiction books/total books
= 32/96
= 1/3
Therefore, the fraction of fiction and non-fiction books is 2/3 and 1/3 respectively.
