A person walks on the building. He slips 1m for every 5m he climbs. If the building is 53m high and he takes 5 seconds to climb 1m . Find the total time taken by him to get on the top of the building . Please- solve this problem using integers.
To solve this problem using integers, we will break it down step by step.
Step 1: Calculate the total number of meters the person needs to climb to reach the top of the building.
Given that the building is 53m high, the person needs to climb 53m.
Step 2: Determine the number of times the person slips.
For every 5m climbed, the person slips 1m. To calculate the number of times the person slips, divide the total number of meters climbed (53m) by the number of meters slipped for each climb (5m).
53m / 5m = 10 slips
Step 3: Calculate the total number of meters climbed with slips.
To get the total number of meters climbed with slips, we need to subtract the number of slips from the total distance to climb.
Total meters climbed = Total distance - Number of slips
Total meters climbed = 53m - 10 slips
Total meters climbed = 53m - 10m = 43m
Step 4: Calculate the time taken to climb 1 meter.
Given that the person takes 5 seconds to climb 1 meter, the time taken to climb the total number of meters climbed with slips (43m) can be calculated as follows:
Time taken = Time per meter * Total meters climbed
Time taken = 5 seconds/meter * 43 meters = 215 seconds
Therefore, the total time taken by the person to reach the top of the building is 215 seconds.
