Question

A shoe store displayed 75 pairs of shoes on 12 shelves. How many pairs of shoes could the store display on eight shelves.

Answer 1

8 shelves can fit 50 shoes.

Explanation:

1st. Multiply 75 and 12. You should get 6.25.

2nd. Multiply 6.25 and 8, since you need to figure out to find out how many shoes can fit in 8 shelves. You should get 50 shoes.

50 shoes can fit in 8 shelves.

Answer 2

50 pairs of shoes since 75/12 is 6.25 and then multiply 6.25x8
