Think of the 13-ft length of the ladder as the hypotenuse of a right triangle. Represent the horiz. distance from foot of ladder to base of tree by x, or 5 ft.
Represent the vert. dist. from base of tree to top of ladder by y, which is unknown.
Then (13 ft)^2 = (5 ft)^2 + y^2, or
169 ft^2 = 25 ft^2 + y^2. This simplifies to y^2 = 144. Thus y = + 12 feeet.
Note: Please pay attention to your spelling: "lader i up agenst a tree" should be "the top of a 13-ft ladder is placed against a tree."

1/4+3/7
7/7.4+3.4/7.4
7/28+12/28
19/28
So, you had done everything right so far (other than squaring the 2), but that was only half of the question.
to find the least common multiple, you need to first figure out what the prime factors have in common.

each have two twos. both have one 5, so we know our answer will look something like

now to figure out the other stuff... we have to represent the greatest amount of everything that is left, and we have 3s and 7s left over, so we need to figure out how many of each we need.
one has one 3 and one has two, so we need two threes. now our equation is

what's the only number we have to deal with? 7...
how many sevens does 60 have? 0, and 630 has 1, so we know we need one 7. our answer becomes
Mathematically, yes.
Realistically, no.
The difference in their ages is the parent's age when the child was born.
Let's say that the youngest possible is 12.
Then the ratio would be 10:9 when the parent is 120 and the child is 108.
Not likely.
