38 shelves.
i say this because if you divide 34 and 1265 you get 38 r 7. you need to fill in all the books so just add one more shelf.

Answer:

He needs to build 38 shelves

Explanation:

The number of books that can be accommodated in one shelf = 34

Total number of books in the book store = 1265

Dividing the total number of books by number of books per shelf will yield the total number of shelves needed, i.e


\text{Total number of shelves}=\frac{\text{Total number of books}}{\text{Books per shelf}}

Putting the values,


\text{Total number of shelves}=(1265)/(34)=37.21

As the number of shelves can not be in fraction, so total number of shelves needed will be 38.
