A book shelf is 3 1/2 feet long. Each book on the shelf is 5/8 wide. How many books will fit on the shelf?
I don't know how to turn fractions into feet. Help please

Change the fractions into decimals...
3 1/2= 3.5
5/8, divide 8 into 5=0.625
5/8, divide 8 into 5=0.625
Changing them to decimals makes the process a lot easier
Thank you
No units were given for the 5/8
a book 5/8 of a foot wide is not very logical, so were the books only 5/8 inches?
pretty skinny books.
anyway
3 1/2 ft = 42 inches
number of books
= 42 ÷ 5/8
= 42(8/5) = 67.2 books ???
was expecting a whole number.
Check your question.
