Question

A teacher places 55 books onto shelves. Each shelf holds 9 books. How many shelfes does the teacher fill?

Answer 1

Since each shelf holds 9 books and the teacher has 55, you'll need to divide 55 ÷ 9 to find the number of shelves used. After dividing, you'll get 6.11. Round up the 6.11 to 7 since the teacher is using 6 shelves and a part of the seventh one.

The teacher fills 7 shelves with 55 books.

Answer 2

your answer is 495

55 times 9 = 495
