Answer:

If the shelves are 4/5 full, then the total number of books in the library is 1,040 books

Explanation:

13 roll of bookcases

All the bookcases have four shelves

Total number of shelves = 4 x 13

= 52 shelves

Each shelve holds 25 books each

Total number of books that can be in the shelves altogether = 52 x 25

= 1,300 books

If the shelves are 4/5 full, then the total number of books in the library is,

4/5 x 1300

= 1,040 books
