A bookshelf is 4-3/4 feet wide. How many 3-inch-wide books will fit on the shelf?
To find out how many 3-inch-wide books will fit on the shelf, we need to convert the width of the shelf to inches first.
4-3/4 feet is equal to 4 * 12 + 3 = <<4*12+3=51>>51 inches.
Now, we can simply divide the width of the shelf by the width of each book:
51 inches / 3 inches = <<51/3=17>>17 books.
Therefore, 17 books with a width of 3 inches each will fit on the shelf.
