Juan has 28 paperback books. Each book is 1 1/4 inches wide. Will all his books fit on one shelf? If not, how many will fit and how many will have to go on another shelf? If yes, how many more paperback
books, if any, will fit on the same shelf? Explain.

how long is the shelf?
I don't feel like searching through all your posts to collect missing data.
The shelf is 2 1/2 feet long since you didn't feel like looking around...
5,1/14 ?
To determine if all of Juan's books will fit on one shelf, we need to calculate the total width of the books and compare it to the width of the shelf.
First, we need to find the total width of the paperback books. Juan has 28 books, and each book is 1 1/4 inches wide. To find the total width, we multiply the number of books by the width of each book:
28 books × 1 1/4 inches/book = 35 inches
Now, we need to compare the total width of the books (35 inches) to the width of the shelf. If the total width of the books is equal to or less than the width of the shelf, they will all fit on one shelf. If not, we need to calculate how many books will fit on one shelf and how many will have to go on another shelf.
If the total width of the books is greater than the width of the shelf, we divide the total width of the books by the width of the shelf to find out how many shelves we will need:
35 inches ÷ width of the shelf
Since you haven't provided the width of the shelf, I am unable to calculate the exact number of shelves needed or determine if all the books will fit on one shelf. However, you can use the above steps and substitute the width of the shelf to find the answer.
