Question

There are 3,542 books of the same thickness and weight in a room. The room has 321 shelves. If the books are split evenly among the shelves, how many books will be on each shelf, and how many will be left over?

Answer 1

Unless I'm missing something, all we have to do is simplify the fraction:

3542/321

which is:

11 and 11/321

So there will be 11 books on each shelf and 11 left over.
