Answer:

There would be 11 books in each stack, to have the same number.

Explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

Books in stack 1 = 15

Books in stack 2 = 9

Books in stack 3 = 9

2. If the books were rearranged so that the stack had the same number of books how many books would be even?​

Total books = Books in stack 1 + Books in stack 2 + Books in stack 3

Total books = 15 + 9 + 9

Total books = 33

Total books/Number of stacks = Number of books per stack to be the same

33/3 = Number of books per stack to be the same

Number of books per stack to be the same = 11
