- In a library 436 copies of certain book require a shelf length of 8.72 m. How many copies of the same book would occupy a shelf length of 5.30 m?​

Answer 1

Answer:

265 copies of the certain book would occupy a shelf length of 5.30 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Books: 436

Shelf length: 8.72 m

DIVISION:

8.72 / 436 = 0.02

So, it means that a single book occupied 0.02 m.

5.30 / 0.02 = 265

265 copies of the certain book would occupy a shelf length of 5.30 m.
