Answer 2

the correct question is
To fit between two Windows the width of a bookshelf must be no greater that 6 1/2 feet. Mrs. Aguilar purchases a bookshelf that is 77 inches wide. Which statement describes the relationship between the width of the book shelf and the distance between the Windows

we know that

step 1
convert feet to inches
1 ft--------> is equal to 12 in
so
6.5 ft------> 6.5*12-----> 78 in

78 in > 77 in------> The bookshelf will fit between the windows

difference=[78-77]----> 1 in

therefore

the answer is
The bookshelf will fit between the windows with 1 inch remaining.
