Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

Criteria:

• same number of books on each shelf

 ⇒find a number that divides 58 and 145

• greatest number of books on each shelf

 ⇒find the greatest number that divides 58 and 145

Find the GCF of 58 and 145.

58 = 2 ⋅ 29

145 = 5 ⋅ 29The GCF of 58 and 145 is 29.

Each shelf will contain 29 books.

There are 203 total books (because 58 + 145 = 203).

Divide 203 by 29 to find the number of shelves there should be.

203 / 29 = 7

Therefore, there will be 7 shelves.

How would i estimate the quotient?
Viefleur [7K]
To estimate the quotient, we first round off the divisor and the dividend to the nearest tens, hundreds, or thousands and then divide the rounded numbers. In a division sum, when the divisor is made up of 2 digits or more than 2 digits, it helps if we first estimate the quotient and then try to find the actual number.

Answer:

a. 86-degrees; angle-2 corresponds to the given angle.

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle 2 is 86 degrees. Whenever a line is bisected by another line, 4 angles are formed. The opposite angles aka the kissing V's have the same angle measurement. Angle 2 and 86-degrees are the kissing V's here, thus they have the same angle measure.
