Information: Juan plans to build a bookcase t store his paperback books, DVDs, and CDs. he has lumber that he will use for the sides and back of the bookcase. Juan plans for his bookcase to have five shelves including, the top and bottom shelves. Each shelf will be 2 1/2 feet long.
Question:
A. If Juan has 60 DVDs , how many of them will fit on one shelf?
B.How wide would one DVD case have to be in order for 60 of them to fit in one shelf? Give the answer in feet
A. How wide is each DVD?
B. How wide is each DVD?
To answer these questions, we need to know the dimensions of a DVD case. Let's start by calculating the length of each shelf.
1. Length of each shelf: Since Juan plans for each shelf to be 2 1/2 feet long, we can simply write this as a mixed number: 2 + 1/2 = 2.5 feet.
Now, let's move on to answering the questions:
A. How many DVDs will fit on one shelf?
To determine this, we need to divide the length of the shelf by the length of one DVD case. However, we don't have the dimensions of the DVD case yet, so we cannot provide an exact answer. DVD cases can vary in size, so we need to know the width of a DVD case to determine how many will fit on the shelf.
B. How wide would one DVD case have to be in order for 60 of them to fit on one shelf?
To find out how wide a DVD case needs to be, we need to divide the length of the shelf (2.5 feet) by the number of DVD cases (60):
Width of one DVD case = Length of each shelf (2.5 feet) / Number of DVD cases (60)
By performing this calculation, we can determine the width required for each DVD case.
Unfortunately, without knowing the dimensions of a DVD case, we can't provide you with an exact answer to either question A or B. If you can provide the dimensions of the DVD case, we can help you calculate the number of DVDs that will fit on one shelf and the width required for one DVD case.
