Juan has 28 paperback books. Each book is 1 1/4 inches wide. Will all his books fit on one shelf? If not, how many will fit and how many will have to go on another shelf? If yes, how many more paperback books, if any, will fit on the shelf?

it depends on how wide is the shelf?

2 1/2 feet = 30 inches

So, only 24 books can fit on one shelf, and 4 on another?
