Answer 1

The number of shelves stephen can make is approximately 27

Solution:

Given that Stephen makes wooden shelves for his room

Stephen wants to make the shelves 3/4 foot long

He starts with a board that is 20 feet long

To find: number of shelves he can make

So the number of shelves stephen can make can make is found out by dividing 20 feet long board by 3/4 foot long

$\text {number of shelves }=\frac{\text { total length of board stephen has }}{\text { length of each board }}$

$\text {number of shelves }=\frac{20}{3 / 4}=\frac{20}{0.75}=26.6$

So the number of shelves stephen can make is approximately 27
