Question

b) In a library there are 44,812 books. Which are arranged evenly on
bookshelves. If each shelf has 68 books, find the total number of
bookshelves?

Answer 1

Answer:

659

Step-by-step explanation:

In a library there are 44,812 books. Which are arranged evenly on bookshelves. If each shelf has 68 books we have to divide as we don't know how many shelves are there in a library.

44812/68= 659

So therefore there are 659 shelves in a library.

If anyone think the answer is wrong I will verify it as

shown below.

659

x 68

________

5272

+ 39540

________

44812

So therefore we have to divide 44812/68 and the quotient we get is the number of shelves.

So I hope you understood. Have a nice day!
