The first bookshelf in the science fiction section of a library can hold 2 comma 768 books. The bookshelf has 8 shelves. Each shelf can hold the same number of books. How many books can each shelf​ hold? Write an equation to help solve this problem.

Respuesta :


We know that the total number of books the bookshelf can hold is 2,768. So we can set up the equation:

8x = 2,768

To solve for x, we can divide both sides by 8:

x = 2,768 / 8

x = 346

So each shelf can hold 346 books.
