Question

Not sure what this question is....
I'm told I have a ladder with 11 evenly spaced rungs (those horizontal step things...)
The lengths of the rungs decrease with each rung. The length of the bottom rung is 70cm and the top rung is 50cm. I have to figure out which rung is 58cm

Answer 1

just wish I knew where to begin...

Answer 2

ok, in 11 steps it goes from 70 to 50, draw it out

Answer 3

herbvan is that a lollipop?

Answer 4

I'm from Holland, do the math ;)

Answer 5

no idea :P

Answer 6

ok, drew the ladder

Answer 7

ok, your first is 70, so in 10 steps you go to 50. 20 cm difference over 10 steps would be about 2 cm per step that you have to substract

Answer 8

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11
70 50 10 gaps 20 cm diff. 20/10=2

Answer 9

try with 2

Answer 10

Answer 11

Answer 12

Answer 13

Answer 14

harbvan* but i hope its a lollipop :P

Answer 15

antonio some people cant draw it out in their head so use paper, just 1 to 11 for rungs and then plot the info you know, then work on from there

Answer 16
