Final answer:
Without additional information on the total height that the 350 steps cover, we cannot accurately calculate the number of steps to reach 100 feet up the Statue of Liberty. The problem requires a known step-to-height ratio to solve.
Step-by-step explanation:
To determine how many stairs are needed to climb to reach 100 feet up the Statue of Liberty, we first need to establish the relationship between the total number of steps and the full height of the climb. We are told that there are 350 steps to get from the pedestal to the head of the Statue of Liberty. However, the height covered by these 350 steps is not mentioned in the question, making it impossible to directly calculate the number of steps to reach 100 feet without additional information.
Usually, this type of problem requires a ratio or proportion where you would set up the equation based on the known step-to-feet ratio. However, because we are not given the total height that the 350 steps cover, we cannot accurately determine the number of steps that will take us up 100 feet. Hence, we are unable to provide any of the answer choices listed (a 175, b 200, c 250, or d 300) without knowing this specific ratio.
