Question

The height of one story of a building is about 10 feet. The bottom of the ladder on the fire truck must be at least 24 feet away from the building. Write and solve an inequality to find the number of stories the ladder can reach

Answer 1

The answer of the problem is 2.4

Answer 2

2 around 2 or 3 stories is total stories at which ladder can reached

Explanation:

Given data:

Height of building is given as 10 feet

Distance between the ladder bottom and building is 24 feet

Number of stories on which ladder can reached is calculated as

Number of stories is
`= (distance\ between\ ladder\ bottom\ and\ building)/(height\ of\ 1\ story)`

Number of stories is
`=(24)/(10) = 2.4`

Therefore 2 around 2 or 3 stories is total stories at which ladder can reached
