    18 out of 66 of the books are fiction

    To find the number of nonfiction, subtract 18 from 66

    66 - 18 = 48 nonfiction books

    The question asks for nonfiction to fiction books in a ratio

    Nonfiction : Fiction

    Replace the words with their values

    48 : 18

    This ratio can be simplified as both numbers share a highest common factor of 6

    48/6 = 8

    18/6 = 3

    The final ratio is

    8 : 3
