Final answer:

The question is missing the total vertical height of the stairway, which is needed to calculate the number of landings. Without this information, we cannot determine the total number of landings that exist at every 10 feet of vertical rise.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks about the total number of landings on a temporary stairway where there are landings at every 10 feet of vertical rise. However, the question does not provide the total vertical rise of the stairway, which is necessary information to determine the number of landings.

Without the total vertical height, we cannot give a definitive answer. If we did know the total vertical height, we would divide that by 10 to find the number of landings, not forgetting to include the starting ground level as a landing if applicable.
