<h2>Greatest number of shelves is 4.</h2><h2>Number of adventure book on each shelf is 4.</h2><h2>Number of mysteries book on each shelf is 8.</h2><h2>Number of biographies book on each shelf is 3.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Here Sally has 16 adventure books, 32 mysteries, and 12 biographies.

The greatest number dividing all the numbers are 4.

So number of shelves is 4.

\texttt{Number of adventure book on each shelf =}\frac{16}{4}=4\\\\\texttt{Number of mysteries book on each shelf =}\frac{32}{4}=8\\\\\texttt{Number of biographies book on each shelf =}\frac{12}{4}=3

Greatest number of shelves is 4.

Number of adventure book on each shelf is 4.

Number of mysteries book on each shelf is 8.

Number of biographies book on each shelf is 3.

What is 20 divided by two
Tcecarenko [31]
First of all, this shouldn't be in high school category.
Second, 20 divided by 2 is 10. Dividing is like subtraction. You would subtract 20 by 2, and you would find that after 10 times, you will get to zero.

V125BC [204]
To compare two fraction we have to make common denominator, then we can compare numerators.
Lets do this
\frac{1}{2}= \frac{1*5}{2*5}= \frac{5}{10}
Now we can compare numeratos.
3<5, so 1/2 is greater than 3/10.
