Answer- 9 shelves
In order to find out how many shelves are need we must divided 175 into 20. 175 divided by 20 is 8.75. But, because you cannot have have .75 of a shelf, you have to round this to a whole. This means that 9 shelves will be the least needed number of shelves need to store 175 books. To check this answer 20 books X 8 shelves is 160 books, which means eight shelves can only store 160 books, we will need and additional shelf to store the last 15 books.
HOPE THIS HELPS & GOOD LUCK!
