On six book shelves there are 72 books per shelf how many books are there altogether if 1/3 of these books are nonfiction how many books are fictional

Respuesta :

six shelves....72 books per shelf

6 * 72 = 432 total books <==

if 1/3 are non-fiction, then that means 2/3 are fiction
2/3(432) = 864/3 = 288 books are fiction <==
