Complete Question:

To fit between two Windows the width of a bookshelf must be no greater that 6 1/2 feet. Mrs. Aguilar purchases a bookshelf that is 77 inches wide. Which statement describes the relationship between the width of the book shelf and the distance between the Windows

Answer:

The bookshelf will fit between the windows with 1 inch remaining

Solution:

We know that,

Convert feet to inches

1 feet = 12 inches

Given that,

width of a bookshelf must be no greater that 6 1/2 feet

6\frac{1}{2}\ feet = 6.5\ feet

6.5\ feet = 6.5 \times 12\ inches = 78\ inches

But given that,

Aguilar purchases a bookshelf that is 77 inches wide

Thus, the bookshelf will fit between the windows

Difference = 78 - 77 = 1 inches

Thus the bookshelf will fit between the windows with 1 inch remaining
