DVD cases are 9/16 inch wide.. If Juan has 60 DVDs how many will fit on one shelf. Shelves are 2 1/2 ft long.
Answered by Ms. Sue
2 1/2 feet = 30 inches

30/(9/16)
30 * (16/9) = ____ DVDs
Answered by Ty
I don't understand the 30/(9/16) and after.
Answered by Ms. Sue
30/(9/16) means 30 inches divided by 9/16 inch.

When we divide with a fraction, we must turn it upside down and multiply.
