Question

The local Library has a children’s section with pictures books and chapter books. The ratio is 2: 3. If there is a total of 500 books in the children’s section how, many chapter books are in the section?

Answer 1

Answer:

300

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at the ratio (2:3). You can see that the numbers of "ratio units" add up to 5, and that the total number of books is 100 times that value. Then each "ratio unit" stands for 100 books.

3 ratio units of chapter books mean there are 300 chapter books.
