Answer:

She will get 12 books from the store

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use ratio's to solve

2 books out      x books out

------------------- =-----------------------------

3 books in          18 books in from Val


Using cross products

2 * 18 = 3 *x

Divide each side by 3

2*18 /3 = 3x/3

2*6 = x

12 =x

She will get 12 books from the store
