Answer:
Possible lengths of the silk fibre 'x' are 100, 75, 60, 50 and 30 yards respectively.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the length of the silk fiber = x yards.
Let the number of silk fibres = a.
It is given that the silk fibers between 3 to 10 yards are combined to form a silk thread of 300 yards.
So, we get the equation,
, where 
i.e.
, 
So, the possible values of 'a' are 3, 4, 5, 6 an 10.
Thus, the possible lengths of the silk fibre 'x' are 100, 75, 60, 50 and 30 yards respectively.
Set up an equation of ratios as shown below:
h 24 ft 4
----- = ---------- = ---
4 6 ft 1
Cross multiplying the 1st and 3rd fractions, we get h=16 ft (answer)
Answer:

(1/3)x =16 (x represents the total number of books he has)
x=48
Answer:
4(5+4)
Step-by-step explanation:
4(5+4) equals 36, and 20 + 16 equals 36 as well, so therefore 20 + 16 is equivalent to 4(5+4)
