Question

Cindy has a 4-shelf bookcase in which she wants to place baskets. Each basket takes up 1/4 of the shelf. How many baskets can Cindy place on the 4 shelves?

Answer 1

I believe it would be 16. If each basket takes up 1/4 of 1 shelf then 4 baskets would fit per shelf. 4 x 4 = 16

Answer 2

16

Explanation:

One basket takes (1/4)th of the shelf.

So, in one shell, Cindy can place 4 baskets

Total number of baskets = 4 *4 = 16
