Question

Mrs. Jonah's class of 18 students checked out a total of 351 books from the library last year. What was the ratio of books to students? 2 to 39, 39 to 2, 20 to 1, 1 to 20

Answer 1

the ration of books to the student is,

$=\frac{books}{no\text{. of student}}$$\begin{gathered} =\frac{351}{18} \\ =\frac{117}{6} \end{gathered}$$=\frac{39}{2}$

so the ratio of books to the student is 39 to 2
