Samantha has a shelf that is 95/4 inches wide. How many books can Samantha arrange on the shelf if each book is 5/4 inches thick?
Figure this out:
A shelf that is 94/5 (23.75) inches wide could fit ? many 5/4 (1.25) inch thick books on its platform.
23.75 divided by 1.25 is 19. (1.25 x 19 = 23.75)
Your answer would be 19 books. You're welcome.
