Answer:

He needs to build 38 shelves

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of books that can be accommodated in one shelf = 34

Total number of books in the book store = 1265

Dividing the total number of books by number of books per shelf will yield the total number of shelves needed, i.e

[tex]\text{Total number of shelves}=\dfrac{\text{Total number of books}}{\text{Books per shelf}}[/tex]

Putting the values,

[tex]\text{Total number of shelves}=\dfrac{1265}{34}=37.21[/tex]

As the number of shelves can not be in fraction, so total number of shelves needed will be 38.
