34.66 inches because 24 volumes take up 32 inches. One volume takes up approximately 1.33 inches so the remaining two volumes take 2.66inches which makes a total of 34.66 inches.

So if 3 volumes of the encyclopedia take up 4 inches of space, then each volume takes up 3/4 inches of space or .75 inches.

If you multiply 26*(.75) = 19.5 inches of space, or 19 and a half inches of space.
