The number of books that can be shelved is 45. So then we know that the amount that need to be shelved <em>can</em> be 45, if the bookshelf had 0 books on it. This means that it can have the equal part of the inequality sign.
However, the amount of book that need to be shelved cannot <em>exceed</em> 45, so b must be less than 45.
Therefore, the answer must be D) b ≤ 45.
200 because 20 times 10 is 200
The answer is 18 ft because 36 divided by 2 is 18
