books

Answer:

81 books

Step-by-step explanation:

Every 4 months, Eva reads 36 books.

You first need to find the number of books Eva can read in 1 month

[tex]\frac{36}{4} / \frac{4}{4} = \frac{9}{1} \\[/tex]

By dividing the ratio  [tex]\frac{36}{4}[/tex]  by  [tex]\frac{4}{4}[/tex]  you find that Eva can read 9 books per month.

You then add 4 and 5 together to get 9 because Eva has already read for 4 months and is going to read another 5 months after joining the book club.

You use the monthly ratio  [tex]\frac{9}{1}[/tex]  and multiply it by  [tex]\frac{9}{9}[/tex]  for the grand total of 81 books for the nine months that Eva has read.
