Johann wants to build a set of wood shelves using a piece of wood that is 83 ½ inches long. Each shelf is an equal length of 12 ¾ inches. How many shelves can Johann make?

He'll be able to make 6 shelves.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to know haw many shelves he can make we need to take the total amount of material and divide it by the amount of material required for each shelve. We have:

total amount = 83 1/2 inches = 83.5 inches

amount per shelve = 12 3/4 inches = 12.75 inches

amount of shelves = total amount/amount per shelve

amount of shelves = 83.5/12.75 = 6.55 shelves

Since he can't make half shelves he'll be able to make 6 shelves and have left over material.
