Step-by-step explanation:
180-78-30=72
To solve this we can make it into an equation, which looks like this
y = 2x (for Rebecca)
y = x + 10 (for Alice)
The we subtract one equation from the other to solve
0 = x - 10
10 = x
x = 10
Now we replace x in whichever equation and we get 20
So, each girl will read 20 books for them to be at the same book.

We are given the height of Joe which is 1.6 meters, the length of his shadow is 2 meters when he stands 3 meters from the base of the floodlight.
First, we have to illustrate the problem. Then we can observe two right triangles formed, one is using Joe and the length of the shadow, the other is the floodlight and the sum of the distance from the base plus the length of the shadow. To determine the height of the floodlight, use ratio and proportion:
1.6 / 2 = x / (2 +3)
where x is the height of the flood light
solve for x, x = 4. Therefore, the height of the floodlight is 4 meters.
