Answer:

20 books

Step-by-step explanation:

given that the shelf can hold 25 1/2 lbs (i.e 25.5 lbs), and that each book weighs 1 1/4 ln (i.e 1.25 lbs)

number of books which the shelf can hold

= weight that the shelf can hold ÷ weight of each book

= 25.5 ÷ 1.25

= 20.4 books

because having 0.4 of a book (i.e part of a book) would not be very feasable, we have to round the number of books down to the nearest whole number)

20.4 books rounded down to nearest whole number = 20 books (answer)

Everett made 3/5 of the baskets he shot suppose he shot 60 baskets how many did he make

givi [52]

As given he made 3/5 of basket he shot.

So we can find number of basket made by Everett equal to 3/5 of total number of shot .

So if total number of shot is 60.

Then the number of basket made by Everett = $\frac{3}{5}$ of 60.
$\frac{3}{5} * 60 = \frac{3 * 60}{5} = \frac{180}{5} = 36$

So the number of basket made by Everett in 60 shots = 36.

Lisa [10]

Here is the solution of the given problem above.
Given: Weight of single calf = weight of mother + 3.8%
Weight of mother = 3.75 tons or 7,500 pounds
? = weight of the calf
First, we need to find the 3.8% of 7,500 pounds. The result is 285 pounds.
So to get the weight of the calf, let's add 7,500 pounds to 285 pounds and the result is 7,785 pounds. So the weight of the calf is 7,785 pounds. Hope this helps.
