Eleanor is building shelves to hang in her closet. She uses 36.5 feet of wood. Each shelf is w feet long. Create an expression that will represent the number of shelves Eleanor builds from the wood.

36.5/w

Step-by-step explanation:

Eleanor uses 36.5 feet of wood to build the shelves. Since each shelf is w feet long, the number of shelves Eleanor can build can be found by dividing the amount of wood she uses, 36.5 feet, by the length of each shelf, w.

So, the expression that can be used to find the number of shelves Eleanor builds from the wood is shown below.

It is better to use completing the square method to solve this quadratic equation.
