Franks bookshelf is 1 1/2 meters high. Each row in the bookshelf is 3/16 of a meter high. How many rows are there in franks bookshelf?

Answer 1

Answer:

29 rows.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Turn 11/2 and 3/16 into a fraction
2. 11/2 = 5.5 and 3/16 = 0.1875
3. Divide 5.5 by 0.1875 = 29.3333333333
4. Round up and get 29 since .3333333333 does not equal a whole shelf.
