The total height of a building and the flagpole on the roof is 230 feet. The building is 9 times as high as the flagpole. How high is the flagpole?
.
Let f = height of flagpole
then
9f = height of building
.
From: "The total height of a building and the flagpole on the roof is 230 feet." we get
9f + f = 230
10f = 230
f = 23 feet
