There are 11 books on a shelf. 3 of these books are new. (a) what is the ratio of used books to new books? (b) what is the ratio of used books to all books?

Respuesta :

11 books on the shelf...3 are new....that means (11 - 3) = 8....8 are used

ratio of used books to new books : 8:3 or 8/3 or 8 to 3
ratio of used books to all books : 8:11 or 8/11 or 8 to 11
