Respuesta :
The number of shelves stephen can make is approximately 27
Solution:
Given that Stephen makes wooden shelves for his room
Stephen wants to make the shelves 3/4 foot long
He starts with a board that is 20 feet long
To find: number of shelves he can make
So the number of shelves stephen can make can make is found out by dividing 20 feet long board by 3/4 foot long
[tex]\text {number of shelves }=\frac{\text { total length of board stephen has }}{\text { length of each board }}[/tex]
[tex]\text {number of shelves }=\frac{20}{3 / 4}=\frac{20}{0.75}=26.6[/tex]
So the number of shelves stephen can make is approximately 27
