Given: Ratio of number of story books to that of non story book is 4:3 and total story books are 1248 in number.
To Find: Books bought to make the new ratio as 5:3.
Solution: In the given question, we know that ratio of number of story book to non story book is 4:3 and total story books are 1248.
So, by the ratio we can write as:-
4/3 = (1248) / (number of non story books)
number of non story books = 1248×(3/4)
number of non story books =936
As we know that the books to be added be B then (Story Book)/ (Non story Book) = 5/3
then we can simplify it as (1248+B)/(936)=5/3
so we will get 1248 + B = 1560
then B= 1560-1248
B=312 is the number of books added
Hence, we have to add 312 number of story books to make the new ratio as 5/3
