Answer:
The bookshelf will fit between the windows with 1 inch remaining.
Step-by-step explanation:
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
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
