Dvd cases are 9/16 inch wide . A. If Juan has 60 DVD how many of them will fit on one shelf? How wide would a DVD case have to be in order for 60 of them to fit on one shelf? Give the answer in feet. 60divide 9/16=960/90
Good grief! I thought we'd solved this every which way possible yesterday.
See the Related Questions below.
To figure out how many DVD cases will fit on one shelf, you can divide the width of the shelf by the width of one DVD case. In this case, the width of the DVD case is given as 9/16 inch.
So, to find the number of DVD cases that will fit on one shelf, you can use the following calculation:
Number of DVD cases = Width of shelf / Width of DVD case
Let's assume the width of the shelf is not given in the question. Therefore, we cannot determine the exact number of DVD cases that will fit on one shelf.
Now, let's move on to the second part of the question. To calculate how wide a DVD case would have to be in order for 60 of them to fit on one shelf, you can reverse the calculation.
To find the required width of a DVD case in feet, you need to convert the measurements from inch to feet. There are 12 inches in a foot. So, 9/16 inch can be converted to feet by dividing it by 12.
Now, let's do the calculation:
Required width of DVD case in feet = (Width of shelf / Number of DVD cases) / 12
Given the information in the question, it seems that the calculation you provided (60 divided by 9/16) is attempting to find the width of the DVD case needed to fit 60 cases on one shelf. However, the calculation is incorrect.
To calculate the correct answer, we would need the width of the shelf. Additionally, the calculation should involve converting the measurements to the same unit (e.g., inches or feet) before performing any division or multiplication.
If you provide the width of the shelf, I can help you with the exact answer.
