What is the constant of proportionality?

The constant of proportionality is the ratio of two proportional values at a constant value.

Let the total number of fiction books be f and nonfiction books be n.

According to the given question.

The constant of propotionality between the number of fiction book(f) and the number of non-fiction books(n) in a library is [tex]\frac{15}{22}[/tex].

[tex]\implies \frac{f}{n} = \frac{15}{22}[/tex]

Also, the total number of nonfiction books is 3498.

Therefore,

[tex]\frac{f}{3498} = \frac{15}{22}[/tex]

[tex]\implies f = \frac{15}{22} \times 3498[/tex]

[tex]\implies f = 15\times 159[/tex]

[tex]\implies f = 2385[/tex]

Hence, the total number of fiction books in the library are 2385.
