Answer:
You start the shelf 4 ft. 9 in. from the wall.
Step-by-step explanation:
The game plan is to take the length of the shelf away from the length of the wall, and then divide the remaining part into two equal pieces.
13 ft.
- 3 ft. 6 in.
12 ft 12 in,
- 3ft 6 in
9 ft 6 in.
9 ft. 6 inches divided by 2 equals 4.5 ft, 3 in.
.5 ft * 12 inches = 6 inches
You start the shelf 4 ft. 9 in. from the wall.

Dana made 96 strides.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Ratio of Sally's stride to Dana's strides = 5:4

Let,
x be the strides made by Dana.
Ratio of Sally to Dana = 120:x
Using proportion;
Ratio of Sally's stride to Dana's stride :: Ratio of Sally to Dana

Product of mean = Product of extreme

Dividing both sides by 5

Dana made 96 strides.
