3/5 of the booksin a class library are englishbooks. The rest are non-english books. If the total number of books in the library is 650, how many non-english books are there?
Non english books = 650*2/5=130*2=260 books.
The answer is 260.
Since 3/5 of the books are english, 2/5 are non-english.
650 / 5 = 130.
130 * 2 = 260
2/5 * 650 = 260.
To find the number of non-English books in the library, we need to find the fraction of books that are non-English and then multiply it by the total number of books.
First, let's find the fraction of non-English books. Since 3/5 of the books are English books, the remaining fraction would be non-English books.
To find the remaining fraction, we need to subtract 3/5 from 1:
1 - 3/5 = 5/5 - 3/5 = 2/5
So, 2/5 of the books in the library are non-English.
Next, we multiply the fraction of non-English books by the total number of books to find the number of non-English books:
(2/5) * 650 = (2 * 650) / 5 = 1300/5 = 260
Therefore, there are 260 non-English books in the library.
