6. Compare ratios in order to answer the following problems. Reminder: To compare ratios, convert each ratio to a unit ratio. a. A librarian wants to compare the ratios of fiction to non-fiction books checked out of the library. In the first week of school, the ratio is 7:5, whereas in the eighth week of school, the ratio is 22:13. During which week are students checking out a higher ratio of fiction to non-fiction books (ie. more fiction books for every non- fiction book)?
