Answer:

4 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the height of tower when finished.

We have been given that Priya takes a break when the tower is 2 and 1/2 feet tall, which is 5/8 of the height of the tower she wants to build.

This means that 5/8 of x equals 2\frac{1}{2}. Let us represent this information in an equation.

\frac{5}{8}*x=2\frac{1}{2}

Let us convert our given mixed fraction into improper fraction.

\frac{5}{8}*x=\frac{5}{2}

Let us multiply both sides of our equation by 8/5.

\frac{8}{5}\times \frac{5}{8}*x=\frac{5}{2}\times \frac{8}{5}

x=\frac{8}{2}

x=4

Therefore, the tower will be 4 feet tall when finished.
