the height of a room is 10 feet. you are building a shelving unit from floor to ceiling.
a: each shelf requires 8 inches. write and solve an inequality that represents the number of shelves that can be made.
10 ft = 120 inches .....
N * 8 <= 120 where N is the number of shelves.......divide both sides by
N <= 15
However.....this assumes that the first shelf is at floor level and the last shelf will have an 8 inch clearance with the ceiling......
