To determine how many books can be kept on a shelf, we need to calculate the number of books that can fit vertically.
First, let's convert the height of the shelf to centimeters:
1.45m = 145cm
Now, we can calculate the number of books that can fit by dividing the height of the shelf (in centimeters) by the thickness of each book (in centimeters):
145cm / 1.5cm = 96.67
Since we cannot have a fraction of a book, we need to round down to the nearest whole number to get a whole number of books that can fit on the shelf:
96 books
Therefore, approximately 96 books that are 1.5cm thick can be kept on a shelf that is 1.45m high.
