Answer:

there would be 212,888 books in the 2nd library, and 6,000 cupboards needed to hold all the books.

Explanation:

simple division is all you need to answer. 480,000 divided by 80 is 6,000. for the second part, if the total amount of books between both libraries is 480,000 and one library has 267,112 books, 480,00 - 267,112 is 212,888

Hope this helps :)
