One measured the location for the bookcase and realize that his shelves can be no more than 1 3/4 wide how many DVD cases will you be able to store on each of the shorter shelf's.
how many paperback books will he be able to the store on each of the shorter shelf's

What are the sizes of the DVD cases and the paperback books?
1 3/4 ?? What unit of measurement?
How long are the longer shelves?
To determine how many DVD cases can be stored on each of the shorter shelves, you need to know the length of the shorter shelf and the width of a DVD case. Let's assume the length of the shorter shelf is given as 1 3/4.
To calculate how many DVD cases can fit on the shorter shelf, you divide the length of the shelf by the width of a DVD case.
The width of a DVD case is not provided, so you will need to find out the width separately. You can measure the width of a DVD case using a ruler or look up the standard width of a DVD case, which is usually around 5.4 inches.
Assuming the width of a DVD case is 5.4 inches, you can calculate the number of DVD cases that can fit on the shorter shelf by dividing 1 3/4 inches (or equivalently, 1.75 inches) by 5.4 inches.
1 3/4 inches / 5.4 inches = 0.3240740740740741 DVD cases
Since it is not possible to have a fraction of a DVD case, you would round down to the nearest whole number.
Therefore, on each of the shorter shelves, you would be able to store 0 DVD cases (rounded down to 0).
To determine how many paperback books can be stored on each of the shorter shelves, you would follow a similar process. You'll need the length of the shelf and the width of a paperback book. Once you have this information, you can calculate the number of paperback books that can fit on each shelf using the same formula: dividing the length of the shelf by the width of a paperback book.
