One way to solve this is:
5 shelves * 234 cm each = 1170 cm
1170 cm / 4.5 cm per book = 260 books
Another approach would be to determine how many books fit on ONE shelf, and then multiply by 5 to get the total:
234 cm per shelf / 4.5 cm per book = 52 books per shelf
(52 books per shelf)(5 shelves) = 260 books
