Solution
Verified by Toppr

A fraction of books in Asha’s shelf =56
A fraction of books in Samuel’s shelf =25
We compare the fractions to find whose shelf is more full.
LCM of 5 & 6 is 30
56=5×55×6=2530

25=2×65×6=1230

2530>1230

56>25

So, Asha’s shelf has more books and is more full.
5625

=25301230

=251230

=1330

Asha’s shelf is more full and by 1330
