There are 12 fiction books in the Lenape Elementary School library.

Given,

The total number of books in the school library is 44.

Let the number of non-fiction books be \(x\).

So, the number of fiction books will be

\(\frac{3}{8} \times x\).

How to calculate the number of fiction books?

According to the question,

\(x+\dfrac{3x}{8}=44\)

\(\dfrac{8x+3x}{8}=44\)

\(\dfrac{11x}{8} =44\)

\(11x=44\times 8\)

\(x=\dfrac{44\times8}{11}\)

Or,

\(x=32\)

So, the number of fiction books will be \(\frac{3\times32}{8} =12\) books.

Hence there are 12 fiction books.
