Answer:

There are 6 fiction books in the bin. The probability of randomly selecting a fiction book from the bin is 0.6 or 3/5.

Step-by-step explanation:

The third bullet point says that the probability of selecting a poetry book is 1/5, and the second point says that the probability of selecting a fiction book is three times as likely than the poetry books.  So that would mean we must multiply 1/5 by 3. So do that you could turn it into a decimal first. 1/5 as a decimal is 0.2. Next, we multiply it. So 0.2 times 3 equals 0.6. Therefore the answer is 0.6. And to convert that back to a fraction, it would be 3/5.

6 fiction books in the bin :) I hope this helps!!
