The bookstore had a new bookshelf that
could hold 62 books. The owner divided
the 62 books evenly among the 5
shelves. When split evenly, how many
books were on each of the 5 shelves?
[tex]62 \div 5 = 12remainder2[/tex]. Get rid of the the remainder ([tex]2[/tex]) because it was specified that the books were split evenly, and then answer is [tex]12[/tex].
