(3*38)+(4*29) =
To find the total number of books in the bookcase, we need to calculate the number of books on each type of shelf separately and then add them together.
Let's start with the 3 shelves that have 38 books each. To find the total number of books on these shelves, we multiply the number of shelves by the number of books per shelf:
3 shelves * 38 books per shelf = 114 books
Next, let's calculate the total number of books on the 4 shelves with 29 books each. Again, we multiply the number of shelves by the number of books per shelf:
4 shelves * 29 books per shelf = 116 books
Finally, to find the total number of books in the bookcase, we add the number of books from each type of shelf together:
114 books + 116 books = 230 books
Therefore, there are 230 books in the bookcase.
To find the total number of books in the bookcase, we can calculate the number of books on each shelf and then add them together.
Let's start by calculating the number of books on the 3 shelves with 38 books each:
Number of books on each shelf: 38
Number of shelves: 3
Total number of books on these shelves: (38 books/shelf) * (3 shelves) = 114 books
Next, let's calculate the number of books on the 4 shelves with 29 books each:
Number of books on each shelf: 29
Number of shelves: 4
Total number of books on these shelves: (29 books/shelf) * (4 shelves) = 116 books
Now, let's add the number of books from both sets of shelves to get the total number of books in the bookcase:
Total number of books = 114 books + 116 books = 230 books
Therefore, there are 230 books in the bookcase.
