Answer:
He needs to build 38 shelves
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of books that can be accommodated in one shelf = 34
Total number of books in the book store = 1265
Dividing the total number of books by number of books per shelf will yield the total number of shelves needed, i.e
[tex]\text{Total number of shelves}=\dfrac{\text{Total number of books}}{\text{Books per shelf}}[/tex]
Putting the values,
[tex]\text{Total number of shelves}=\dfrac{1265}{34}=37.21[/tex]
As the number of shelves can not be in fraction, so total number of shelves needed will be 38.
