Answer 2

Option: D is the correct answer.

D: 18, because the number of catalogs is 72 over 5 divided by 4 over 5.

Explanation:

Let Freddy could arrange n catalogs on the shelf.

The dimension of the shelf is:

72 over 5 inches wide.

The dimension of the catalog is:

4 over 5 of an inch thick.

n × Dimension of one catalog=Dimension of shelf.

i.e.

n×(4 over 5 inches)=72 over 5 inches

i.e.

n=72 over 5 inches/ 4 over 5 inches

i.e.

n=72/4

i.e.

n=18

Hence, Freddy could arrange 18 books in the shelf.
