Question

a carpenter uses 65 shelves to make 13 bookcases. she uses the same number of shelves for each bookcase. are 32 shelves enough to build 6 more shelves?

Answer 1

First, we would need to figure out how many shelves are needed to build 1 bookcase. To do that, you would need to divide the number of shelves by the number of bookcases it can make.
65 ÷ 13 = 5

Now we know, it takes 5 shelves to build a single bookcase. The next step would be to find out how many shelves it would take to build 6 more bookcases. To find the answer, you would multiply the number of shelves it takes to build 1 bookcase by the number of bookcases that need to be built.
5 x 6 = 30

So, yes, 32 shelves would be more than enough to build 6 more bookcases.

I hope this helps!
