Respuesta :

Answer: total books = 180

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Poetry section of the library has 6 bookcases.

Number of shelves in each bookcase = 3

Total shelves =  (Number of shelves in each bookcase) x (Number of bookcases in each poetry section)

= 3 x 6

= 18

Number of books in each shelf = 10

Total books = (number of shelves) x 10

= 18 x 10

= 180

hence, total books in the poetry section= 180
