Best Answer: w1•d1 = w2•d2
150•`15 = 300 d2
2250 = 300 d2
d2 = 2250 ÷ 300 = 7.5 ft

Answer:

Explanation:

alright, lets get started.

The formula for weight and distance is :


w_(1)*d_(1)= w_(2)*d_(2)

Plugging the values of w1 as 150, d1 as 15, w2 as 300


150*15=300*d_(2)

dividing 300 in both sides


(150*15)/(300)=d_(2)

simplifying


d_(2)=(15)/(2)


d_(2)=7.5

Hence the answer is 7.5 feet. : answer

Hope it will help :)
