If Lauran has 24pairs of shoes, and 5 pairs can fit on each row of the shoe holder, then 5 on one row  + 5 again + 5 + 5 = 20 , then you have 4 left over, so you'll need one more row to fit the left over 4 on. So 4 rows of 5 pairs, then another row with 4 pairs.


Answer:

5 rows

Step-by-step explanation:

If Lauren's s shoe organizer can hold 5 pairs of shoe in a row, to find the number of row needed for 24 pairs of shoes, we can simply use proportion.

In this question, 1 row can hold 5 pairs of shoe,  thus;

Let x represent the number of row needed for 24 pairs of shoe

5 pairs   =     1 row

24 pairs =       x

Cross multiply

5x     =     24

To get the value of x, we simply divide both-side of the equation by 5

5x / 5    =   24  /  5

( On the left hand side of the equation, the 5 at the numerator will cancel the 5 at the denominator leaving us with just x, on the right hand side of the equation we simply divide 24 by 5)

x  =   4.8

(4.8 can be rounded up to 5)

x  ≈   5

Therefore Lauren  will need 5 rows for 24 pairs of shoes
