Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] of the books in the book store are mystery fiction books.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent all the books in the books store.

Then, the fraction of books that are fiction books is [tex]\frac{3}{4}x[/tex]

We have that; [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] of the fiction books are mystery books.

The fraction of the books at the  bookstore that are mystery fiction  books is [tex]\frac{1}{3}\times \frac{3}{4}x=\frac{1}{4}x[/tex].

Therefore [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] of the books in the bookstore are mystery fiction books.
