Ceiling is 8 feet 7 inches from floor JEFF reach up 7 feet 9 inches when she raised his arm. If he stands on a stool that is 8 inches tall, can he reaches the ceiling

The answer to your question is No, he can not.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Height of the ceiling = 8 ft 7 in

Jeff's height = 7 ft 9 in

Height of the stool = 8 in

Process

1.- Convert all the heights to in

            1 ft 12 in

            8 ft x

            x = (8 x 12) / 1

            x = 96 in

Height of the ceiling = 96 + 7 = 103 in

            1 ft 12 in

            7 ft x

            x = (7 x 12) / 1

            x = 84 in

Jeff's height = 84 + 9 = 93 in

2.- Add up Jeff's height plus the height of the stool

               93 + 8 = 101 in

3.- Compare the heights

            103 (ceiling) > 101 (jeff + stool)

4.- Conclusion

    Jeff will not reach the ceiling

answer: there are x+184 pages in olivia's book.

step-by-step explanation:

let the total number of pages in the book which olive has already read be x.

then if olive has 184 pages left to read, then the total number of pages are in olive's book= pages she has read+pages she has left to read

therefore, the total number of pages in olivia's book=

hence, there are x+184 pages in olivia's book.
