Respuesta :

If we place the books  using their width on the length of the  book shelf  then

each book occupy  the length : 9.3* 10^-2  meter on the length of the book shelf .Here  width of book and length of book shelf is in same unit , that is meter . so we do not have to do any work with changing the unit .


number of books =  length of the book shelf  divide by  width of the book


That is :             1.865 x 10 ^1   divide by  9.3x 10^-2 = 200.53


Because  number of books placed can not be a decimal number so we would place only 200 books


Answer :200 books . Option A is correct .
