For example, l is the length of short ladder we want to find

Make a comparison
ladder/wall height = ladder/wall height
l/20 = 60/50
l/20 = 6/5
l = 6/5 × 20
l = 120/5
l = 24

The short ladder is 24 ft

How many gallons and quarts are in 10 quarts
Ipatiy [6.2K]
10 quarts = 2.5 gallons.

There are 4 quarts for every 1 gallon, but because you're finding gallons and not quarts, you do 10 ÷ 4 = 2.5.
