Answer:
4 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the height of the 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 and 1/2. Let us represent this information in an equation.
5/8*x=2 and 1/2
Let us convert our given mixed fraction into an improper fraction.
5/8*x=5/2
Let us multiply both sides of our equation by 8/5.
8/5*5/8*x=5/2*8/5
x=8/2
x=4
The answer to the question
3 men
4 women
7 total
3 men/ 7 total = 198 men/ x total
using cross products
3*x = 7 * 198
divide each side by 3
x = 7*198/3
x = 462
There are 462 workers
If you mean 3 men and 1 women for a total of 4 workers when you state a ratio of men and women in a certain factory is 3 to 4.
3/4 =198/x
Using cross products
3x = 4* 198
Divide each side by 3
3x/3 = 4*198/3
x =264
264 workers
It all depends on how you define ratio of men and women in a certain factory is 3 to 4. This is incorrect phrasing and I took it to be men to women. You cannot have a ratio of men and women.
