    600 books

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The bin's dimensions are

    5 by 2 by 3

    THe volume of the bin is the multiplication of the 3 dimensions given.

    Volume of Bin = 5 * 2 * 3 = 30 cubic feet

    Now, volume of each book would be gotten the same way. The dimensions of one book is:

    1 by 0.5 by 0.1

    Volume of 1 book = 1 * 0.5 * 0.1 = 0.05 cubic feet

    The number of books that will fit in the bin would be:

    30/0.05 = 600 books
