Question

a nail salon owner is building a shelf to hold a single row of nail polish bottles if the Shelf is 1.5 meters long and the and the nail polish bottles are 4.8 CM wide which of the following shows the best approximation of how many bottles of nail polish would fit on the Shelf

Answer 1

31 bottles

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to convert 4.8 cm to meters, so taking into account that 100 cm is equivalent to 1 m, we get:

Now, to know the number of bottles of nail polish that would fit on the shelf, we need to divide the length of the shelf by the width of the bottles, so:

`\frac{1.5\text{ m}}{0.048\text{ m}}=31.25\text{ bottles}`

Therefore, the best approximation is 31 bottles.
