Question

Is there a way to place 29 books on a shelves so that each shelf has the same number of books,with more than one book on each shelf? Explain

Answer 1

well it really depends on how many shelves there are.
because we need a number of shelves to figure this out.
depending on how many shelves there is now possible solution because for 2 shelves you would divide 29 by 2 and that gives us 14.5 which is not even a total amount of books because in books 14.5 would mean you could put 14 and a half books on a shelf then the rest on the other shelf the same with 3 shelves and so on threw there.
so sorry to say but thats just how it is
I hope I helped.

Answer 2

Answer: No, there is no way to place 29 books on shelves so that each shelf has the same number of books with more than one book on each shelf.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Total number of books on a shelf = 29

Is there a way that each shelf has the same number of books with more than one book on each shelf.

No, as we know that '29' is a prime number.

Prime number means those numbers which has only 2 factors i.e. 1 and the number itself.

So, there are only 2 possibilities as follow:

1) Putting one book on each shelf so that each shelf has the same number of books .

2) Putting all the 29 books in 1 shelf .

Hence, No, there is no way to place 29 books on shelves so that each shelf has the same number of books with more than one book on each shelf.
