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

Since there is no graph presented, I will give an example. For instance you are given, 2n is greater than 30 and 5n is less than 100 and you are asked to find the value of n. This is an example of an inequality problem. You are given 2n is greater than 30 and 5n is less than 100. You are asked to find for the value of n. You need to know that greater means this sign ‘>’ and lesser means ‘<’ sign. So if you have 2n is greater than 30, this is equal to 2n>30 and 5n is less than 100 is 5n<100. The ‘and’ means equal sign ‘=’. So,

2n>30+5n<100

2n-5n
