Answer:

Yes.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the unit rate for 1 bookcase.

65 ÷ by 13 = 5 (unit rate)

Then, multiply the unit rate by the bookcases the carpenter wants to make.

6 · 5 = 30

Finally, subtract the shelves the carpenter wants to use by 30.

32 - 30 = 2 shelves.

Therefore, 32 shelves is enough to build 6 more bookcases. <3
