The ratio is 3:7
If there is 3 non fiction for every fiction and there are 240 fiction 240/3=80
So you multiply 80*7=560 so there are 240 non fiction and 560 fiction
240:560

one of the easiest things to do is point it in fraction and ratio form, which would put 3 over 7 and 240 over x. then you cross multiply and then divide. this would tell you how many fiction books there are. and then you just add. hope that makes sense!
