---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Define the numbers:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Let x be one number.
One number = x
Other number = 5x

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Construct the equation:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5x - x  = 80

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Combine like terms:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4x = 80

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Divide by 4 on both sides:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
x = 20

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Find the 2 numbers:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
One number = x = 20
Other number = 5x = 5(20) = 100

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: The two numbers in increasing order are 20 and 100.

BigorU [14]
A. Convert 4.2 feet to meters. 4.2 feet = 1.28016 meters. The Formula of Scale  = Big / Small
Scale = 525 meters / 1.28016 meters
Scale = 410.1050 meters

b. Convert 4.2 feet to inches. 4.2 feet = 50.4 inches.
To get the number of plywood, divide 50.4 inches by 0.6 inch. The answer is 84. So there are 84 plywood sheets.
