Answer 1

The complete question is:

Frank's bookshelf is 1 1/2 meters high. Each row in the bookshelf is 3/16 of a meter high. How many rows are there in Frank's bookshelf?

Given:

Height of the bookshelf = 1 and 1/2 meters = 1.5 meters

Height of each row in the bookshelf = 3/16

To find:

The number of rows in the bookshelf.

Solution:

Since the height of the bookshelf = 1.5 meters

And height of each row in the bookshelf = 3/16

Then number of rows = (1.5) / (3/16)

= (1.5*16) / 3

= 24 / 3

= 8

Therefore the number of rows in the bookshelf must be 8.
