Answer 2

Answer:

Length of each shelf is 0.45 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Total\ Length = 2.25\ meters$

$Shelves = 5$

Required

Determine the length of each shelf

This is calculated by dividing the total length by number of shelves as thus:

$Length = Total\ Length/Number\ of\ Shelf$

$Length = 2.25m /5$

$Length = 0.45m$

Hence;

Length of each shelf is 0.45 meters
