Answer 2

28

Explanation:

We are given that

June has sports books=42

June has mystery books=85

June has nature books=69

Total number of shelves=7

We have to find the number of books are on each shelf.

Total number of books=42+85+69=196

To find the number of books on each shelf we will divide the total number of books by 7.

Number of books on each shelf=
`(196)/(7)`

Number of books on each shelf=28

Hence, number of books on each shelf=28
