The library at school is organized by fiction and nonfiction books. there are 3 nonfiction books for every 7 fiction books. how many total books are there if the library has 240 nonfiction books?

There are 800 total books.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this, we need to create a proportion that compares the number of non-fiction books to the total. First would be the scale factor and the second would be the total.

3/10 = 240/x

Now we can cross multiply to solve

240*10 = 3 * x

2400 = 3x

800 = x

if a = 1,   and b = 2, then the answer is 47.99999999. if you round that to the nearest whole number, the answer is 48.
