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)

I need to see how to work this problem 6-(-7)=

alisha [4.7K]

Hi there!

Here is what the rules says

+ * + = + (Plus times plus = plus)
+*- = - (Plus times minus = minus)
- * - = + (Minus times minus = Plus
- * + = - (minus times plus = minus)

You need to know the rules by heart because you will use it a lot.

So let see how it works with the problem

6 -(-7)
What does the rules say? It says
- * - = plus
So, we gonna use PLUS for the sign
6-(-7) = 6 + 7 = 13

13 is the correct answer.

I hope I helped. Please let me know if you have more questions.
