The distance from the top of the mirror to the ceiling once the mirror is hung on the wall is 21 inches

The dimension of the mirror is given as:

Height = 24\ in

Width = 28\ in

From the center of the mirror to the floor of the wall, the distance is:

Distance =5\frac14\ ft

So, the distance to the top of the mirror will be:

Top = 5\frac 14\ ft + \frac 12 \times Height

Substitute 24 for height

Top = 5\frac 14\ ft+ \frac 12 \times 24\ in

Top = 5\frac 14\ ft+ 12 \ in

Convert feet to inches

Top = 5\frac 14\times 12\ in+ 12 \ in

Top = 63\ in+ 12 \ in

Top = 75 \ in

The distance from the top of the mirror to the ceiling is the difference between the height of the wall and 75 inches.

So, we have:

Distance = 8\ ft - 75\ in

Convert feet to inches

Distance = 8\times 12\ in - 75\ in

Distance = 96\ in - 75\ in

Distance = 21\ in

Hence, the distance is 21 inches

Five years ago I was 5 times older than my son. In 8 years’ time I will be 3 times older than my son. How old am I today?
o-na [289]

Let x = Parent's age now  y = son's age now

Then, x-5 = parent's age five years ago

        y-5 = son's age five years ago

     So, x-5 = 5(y-5)

          Simplify to get x - 5y = -20

Parent's age 8 years from now = x+8

Son's age 8 years from now = y+8

    So, x+8 = 3(y+8)

           Simplifying, we have x - 3y = 16

We have the system of equations:  x - 5y = -20

                                                  x - 3y = 16

Subtract the equations to obtain -2y = -36

                                                  y = 18

                                                  x = 70

Parent is 70 years old and the son is 18 years old.
