Nevermind I did put the right question down sorry again
Reiny and I showed you how to do similar problems. Now it's your turn to try. Please give it a shot and we'll check your answer.
To determine how many sheets of 3/4 inch thick plywood can fit on a shelf that is just over 18 inches high, you need to divide the height of the shelf by the thickness of each sheet.
Here's how you calculate it:
1. Determine the total height of the shelf: The shelf is just over 18 inches high. Let's assume it is exactly 19 inches high.
2. Determine the thickness of each sheet of plywood: Each sheet is 3/4 inch thick.
3. Divide the total height of the shelf by the thickness of each sheet: Divide 19 inches by 3/4 inch.
To divide by a fraction, you can multiply by its reciprocal. The reciprocal of 3/4 is 4/3.
So, the calculation becomes 19 inches x (4/3) = 76/3 inches.
4. Simplify the fraction: 76/3 inches can be simplified to 25 1/3 inches.
Therefore, you can fit approximately 25 and 1/3 sheets of 3/4 inch thick plywood on a shelf that is just over 18 inches high.
