Sagot :
The owner should add 3 more nonfiction books in order to keep the ratio of 2 fiction books, to 1 nonfiction books. Would leave a total of 12 nonfiction and 24 fiction, and a total of 36 books.
Hope this helps.

27 - 9 = 18
So there are 9 nonfiction books and 18 fiction books.
6 + 18 = 24
Set up a proportion:
9/18 = x/24
Multiply 24 to both sides:
x = 24 * 9/18
x = 216/18
x = 12
So there are 9 nonfiction books and 18 fiction books.
