The library just bought 48 new books. If the librarians have already put 5/12 of the books on the shelves, how many of the new books have been put on shelves?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You divide the total number by the bottom number of the fraction then multiply the number you got by the top number of the fraction so the answer is 48/12= 4 and 4*5= 20

So 24?

Or... 20?
