Question

June has 42 sportsbooks, 85 mystery books, and 69 nature books. She arranges her books equally on 7 shelves. How many books are on each shelve.

Answer 1

Add them all up to get 196 then divide it by 7 to get 28

Answer 2

28 books on each shelves.

Explanation:

Number of sports books June has = 42

Number of mystery books =85

Number of nature books = 69

Total number of books = 42 + 85 + 69

She arranges her books equally on 7 shelves, so we divide the total number of books by the total number of shelves.

`((42+85+69))/(7)`

=
`(196)/(7)`

= 28 books

There are 28 books on each shelves.
