Answer: 4


Explanation:

Given:- Total cds = 68

Total shelves=4

If cds are evenly on 4 shelves then, to find the the number of cds in 1 shelf, we need to divide total cds by total shelves.

Thus, the number of cds in 1 shelf=
(68)/(4)=17

If the first shelf containing the letters a-e. if there are 13 cds filed under a-d,

then cds filled under the letter e= 17-13=4

Therefore, cds filled under the letter e=4
