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)

This means that 6 bags contain  less than 27 ounces
