Answer:

32 Books

Explanation:

You know that the bookshelf is 2 feet long, and you know the book is 3/4 inches thick. To start you have to get a common measurement in this case we will use inches. You already know that 1 foot is 12 inches so 2 feet will be 24 inches. Next all you do is divide the 24 inches by 3/4 inches. This will give you 32 which is the total amount of books that can fit on the bookshelf.
