First, we would need to figure out how many shelves are needed to build 1 bookcase. To do that, you would need to divide the number of shelves by the number of bookcases it can make.

65 ÷ 13 = 5

Now we know, it takes 5 shelves to build a single bookcase. The next step would be to find out how many shelves it would take to build 6 more bookcases. To find the answer, you would multiply the number of shelves it takes to build 1 bookcase by the number of bookcases that need to be built.

5 x 6 = 30

So, yes, 32 shelves would be more than enough to build 6 more bookcases.

Answer:

5 shelves for each bookcase 65 divided by 13 is 5.

yes!

Step-by-step explanation:

65 divided by 13 is 5. To double check 13 times 5 is 65.

Yes that is enough because if you use 5 shelves per bookcase 6 divided by 5 is 30 you have an extra 2 books!

Divide 56 in a ratio of 5.3

Varvara68 [4.7K]

In order to find what one part is in a ratio, you have to add the ratio up ( 5+ 3) and divide it by the number you're looking for (56). In this case, you get 56/8, which gives you 7. Therefore, each part is worth 7. You then have to multiply both sides of the ratio (5 and 3) by 7. 5x7= 35. 3x7= 21. Therefore, 56 divided into the ratio of 5:3 is 35:21

real estate julie bought a house for $100,00 five years ago. if the value of the house has appreciated 5% per year , how much is

Stels [109]

To find the answer, turn the appreciated percent into a decimal:

5% ----> .05 (Divide by 100)

Then multiply it by the total value:

100,000 x .05 = 5000

Then add that to the total:

105,000

So the house is worth a total of $105,000.

Hope this helps!
