Answer:
The old tower has 150 steps
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of steps in the old tower be m
Mathematically, time = distance/speed
In this case, the distance is the number of steps while the speed is the rate of climbing or descending
For climbing, time spent = m/3
For descending time spent = m/2
Since it took her 25 longer when descending;
This means that;
m/2 - m/3 = 25
(3m-2m)/6 = 25
m/6 = 25
m = 6 * 25
m = 150 steps
B because x is the independent variable; you could choose any number for x
Height of each floor = 5 meters
time to travel from the first floor to 68th floor = ?
Speed of elevator = 7.5m/s
While an elevator travels from 1st floor to 68th floor, we will multiply the height of floor with 67 to get the distance covered by the elevator form 1st floor to 68th floor, the height of 68th floor will not be counted in the distance because an elevator reaches the 68th floor not covered the height of that floor.
Distance = 5 x 67 = 335m
Now calculate the time by using the formula;
time = distance / speed
= 335m / 7.5m/s
= 44.667 seconds
Thus, an elevator will take 44.667 seconds to reach 68th floor.
