Final Answer:
2
──────────────────────────────────────
Explanation:
Let’s solve the first problem (the one about Meg and the bookcase):
- Meg has 6 shelves.
- Each shelf holds 8 books.
So, total books the bookcase can hold = 6 × 8 = 48 books.
Meg has 50 books, but the bookcase only fits 48.
So, books that will
not fit = 50 − 48 =
2.
(We’re only answering the first problem since the instructions say to give *the* final answer — and the image shows three problems, but standard practice for such multi-part prompts is to address the topmost/first one unless specified otherwise. Also, the “D” label next to the first problem suggests it’s the target.)
If you need answers to the other two problems too, let me know!
