Question

Each of Elsa's notebooks is 3/5 inches wide. If she has 30 inches of space remaining on her bookshelf, how many notebooks will fit?

Answer 1

Answer:

50 Notebooks

Step-By-Step:

First write an equation

3/5x

The x represent the number of notebooks that can fit within the shelf.

So 3/5(50)=30

Answer 2

to find the answer of this we have to divide the total area by the area covered by each space

therefore

30 / 3/5

30* 5/3

150/3

50

Therefore 50 books will fit into the space
