Well if the ladder is moved 4 feet closer to the building then that should mean that it moves 4 feet higher. because the ladder is 8 feet from the base of the building you just do

8 + 4 = 12
so it's 12 feet....?

hope this was right on not sure..

Write a fraction that is less than 5/6 and has a denominator of 8
KatRina [158]
You'll want to make a common denominator with 6 and 8.
That denominator would be 24.
24/6=4 so you would have to multiply 5/6 by 4/4 to get 20/24.
Next, 24/8=3 so 1/8 could be multiplied by 3/3 to get 3/24.
Since 3 is less than 20, 1/8 is smaller than 5/6.

If you want the same numerator, 5/8 = 15/24. This would make 5/8 smaller than 5/6 as well.
The highest eighth you can go is 6/8 which is 18/24.
So you can use any numerator between 1 and 6 with a denominator of 8 to get a fraction smaller than 5/6.
