Answer:

number of his shoe that can fit = 12 shoes

Explanation:

Miley shoes shelf is 33 inches wide and each of her shoes is 2 3/4 inches wide . Her shoe width is represented in whole number fraction , so let's convert it to improper fraction .

2 3/4 = (4 × 2) + 3 = 11

2 3/4 = 11/4

Each of his shoe is 11/4 inches wide.

Her shoe shelf whole width is 33 inches wide . To get how many of her shoes can fit into the shelf , the shelf width will be divided by her each shoe width.

Mathematically,

number of his shoe that can fit = 33 ÷ 11/ 4

number of his shoe that can fit = 33 × 4/11

number of his shoe that can fit = 3 × 4

number of his shoe that can fit = 12 shoes
