Ratio and Proportion. In online shop sells board games and computer games. The ratio of board games to the total number of games sold in one month is 3:8. What is the ratio of board games to computer games?

In the given problem, the ratio of board games to the total number of games sold is 3:8. This means that for every 8 games sold, 3 are board games.

To find the ratio of **board games to computer games**, we need to determine how many of the total games are computer games. Since the total number of games is 8 parts and 3 parts are board games, the remaining parts are for computer games.

\[
\text{Computer games} = 8 - 3 = 5 \text{ parts}
\]

Thus, the ratio of board games to computer games is:

\[
\text{Board games : Computer games} = 3 : 5
\]

So, the ratio of board games to computer games is **3:5**.
