To determine the ratio of fiction novels to all novels in Addison's collection, follow these steps:
1. Identify the number of each type of novel:
- Nonfiction: 2
- Mystery: 4
- Fiction: 5
2. Calculate the total number of novels by summing up the quantities of each type:
Total novels = Nonfiction + Mystery + Fiction
= 2 + 4 + 5
= 11
3. Next, find the ratio of fiction novels to the total number of novels:
Ratio of fiction novels to all novels = Number of fiction novels / Total number of novels
= 5 / 11
4. The ratio can be represented in fraction form as [tex]\(\frac{5}{11}\)[/tex].
Therefore, the correct multiple-choice answer is:
[tex]\[
\frac{5}{11}
\][/tex]
