A library contains only paperback and hardback books. If the ratio of paperback books to the total number of books is 3 to 5, the true statement is:

The ratio of paperback books to hardback books is 3 to 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of books in the library = 5

The number of paperback books in the library = 3

Therefore, the number of hardback books in the library = 2 (5 - 3)

Then, the relationship between the paperback books and the hardback books in the library can be expressed as a ratio of 3:2.  This still gives the sum of the ratios as 5, which is the total number of books in the library, including paperback and hardback books.
