15 To figure out how many CDs will fit on 65 inches of shelf space, we can set up a proportion using the given information.

We know that 8 CDs take up 3 1/4 inches of shelf space.

First, let's convert 3 1/4 inches into a fraction. We can write it as 13/4 inches.

Now, we can set up the proportion:

8 CDs = 13/4 inches
x CDs = 65 inches

Using cross-multiplication, we can solve for x (the number of CDs):

8 * 65 = 13/4 * x

520 = (13/4) * x

To cancel out the fraction, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 4 to get rid of the denominator:

520 * 4 = 13 * x

2080 = 13 * x

Finally, we can solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by 13:

x = 2080 / 13

The result is x ≈ 160 CDs.

Therefore, approximately 160 CDs will fit on 65 inches of shelf space.
