Answer:
= 5 laptops
Explanation:
To find out how many laptops can fit on a shelf that is 1.2 meters long, we need to first convert the length of the shelf and the dimensions of the laptop to the same units.
We can convert 1.2 meters to centimeters by multiplying it by 100:
1.2 meters = 120 centimeters
Now we can divide the length of the shelf by the length of one laptop to find out how many laptops can fit in a row:
120 cm ÷ 21.5 cm = 5.58
So we can fit 5 laptops in a row on the shelf.
Next, we can divide the width of the shelf by the width of one laptop to find out how many rows of laptops can fit on the shelf:
19.7 cm ÷ 19.7 cm = 1
So we can fit 1 row of laptops on the shelf.
Therefore, the total number of laptops that can fit on the shelf is:
5 laptops x 1 row = 5 laptops
So we can fit 5 laptops on the shelf that is 1.2 meters long.
