Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The graph shows you the value stored on the card dropped by $14 when Gina rented 4 videos. Thus the cost of each one is ...
... $14/4 = $3.50
Gina now has $84 on the card, so can rent an additional ...
... $84/$3.50 = 24 . . . . videos
_____
Division is a way to do "repeated subtraction." That is, if we were to subtract $3.50 from $84 repeatedly, we would find we could do it 24 times.
Let x + 1.5 be length of segment above left hand
Let 2x be length of segment below left hand
15 = x + 1.5 + 2x
15 = 3x + 1.5
15 - 1.5 = 3x
13.5 = 3x
13.5/3= 3x/3
4.5 = x
x = 4.5
This is the length above the left hand.
2x must be then 4.5*2 = 9 foot
This is the length below the left hand.
Checking
4.5 + 9 + 1.5 = 15 foot
Adding length below left hand & length of left hand to right hand:
9 + 1.5 = 10.5
The right hand is hence 10.5 foot far up the pole.

(I know there isnt any real problem here to solve, but heres a tip on how to solve greatest to least with decimal problems)
1. Just because a number looks big, doesn't mean it is big
Example: 1.00000000000001 < 1.1
just look at the numbers ^ and dont just hastily read it over assuming that 1.1 is smaller because it "has less digits"
2. Negative numbers are... opposite. and they are less than positive numbers
-3.4 > -4.1
Why is this? Well, if you look on a line, with the point 0 in the middle, you can see that -3.4 is not as far away from 0 as -4.1 is. So the idea is to apply opposite logic for negative numbers
I hope these tips helped!! :D
