Question

Taylor has 27 books in her book collection. She keeps 1 book beside her bed and keeps the remaining books in a bookcase. She can fit up to 8 books on a shelf. What is the least number of shelves Taylor needs for all her books

Answer 1

27-1= 26 (the one book beside her bed)

26/8= 3.25, but there isn’t .25 of a shelf, so she needs 4 shelves to fit all of her books
