A bookshelf is 72 inches wide. If I plan to place books on the shelf that average ¾ inches in width, about how many books will fit on the shelf?

Number of books that can fit on the shelf = Width of bookshelf/ width of average book = 72 x
(4)/(3) = 96 books

I hope this answer helps! If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
