Answer: There are 118 books on each shelf.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of non fiction books a library has = 9440

Number of shelves = 80

So, Number of books on each shelf would be


\frac{\text{Number of non fiction books}}{\text{Number of books on each shelf}}


(9440)/(80)\\\\=118

Hence, there are 118 books on each shelf.
