Question

The temple at the top of pyramid is approximately 24 meters above the ground, and there are 91 steps leading up the temple. How many above the ground would you be if you were standing on 50th step?

Answer 1

13.187 meters

Explanation:

Basically, there are 24 meters for every 91 steps:
`(24)/(91)`

There are x meters for every 50 steps:
`(x)/(50)`

`(24)/(91) =(x)/(50)`

Cross multiply

91x = 1200

Divide both sides by 91 to isolate the variable, x

91x/91 = 1200/91

x = 13.186813
