Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the total space in the shelf = 11 1/2 in
Total spaced used = 5 1/4 + 4 1/8
Total spaced used = 21/4 + 33/8
Total spaced used = 42+66/16
Total spaced used = 108/16
Total spaced used = 6 12/16
Total spaced used = 6 3/4 in
Amount of space left = 11 1/2 - 6 3/4
Amount of space left = 23/2 - 27/4
Amount of space left = (46-27)/4
Amount of space left = 19/4
Amount of space left = 4 3/4 in
Hence the amount of space left in the shelf is 4 3/4 inches
