Hi! can anyone help me please, I dont even know where to start.
if Carlos has 42 books he wants to store on shelves. Each book is
1 3/4 inches thick. He can buy 3-foot-long shelves for $27.99 each.
How much will it cost to shelve the books?

$83.97

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's find the total thickness of all 42 books first. To do this, we do 42 * 1.75 = 73.5 inches. We know that each shelf is 3 feet long, but we want to convert to the same unit so that it's easier to calculate, so each shelf is 3 * 12 = 36 inches long. Now, to find the number of shelves needed, we'll do total thickness/length of each shelf which is 73.5 / 36, or 2.04. Our answer has to be an integer (because you can't have half of a shelf), so do we round up or down? Well, if we rounded down, then there wouldn't be enough room for all the books, so we round up to 3 shelves instead. Because each shelf is $27.99, the price for 3 will be 27.99 * 3 = $83.97. Hope this helps!

step-by-step explanation:

given perimeter: 28cm

length: 9cm

atp,

2(l+w)=p of the reactangle

2(9+x)=28

18+2x=28

2x=28-18

x=10/2

x=5

therefore width is 5 cm

this is not a question
