Answer:
76 five-foot people.
Explanation:
Since we have two distinct numbers, let's make an equation.
Let x be the number of these 5-foot people. 380 is the result we want, so let's put it at the end. We want to find out how many of these 5-foot people will reach the top, which means we have to multiply it by a number, x.
Because the numbers are all in feet, we keep them as is without converting them.
Now we have: [tex]5x = 380[/tex]
Cancel out the x by dividing the 5.
We get: [tex]x = \frac{380}{5}[/tex]
Divide it, and finally we have: [tex]\frac{380}{5} = 76[/tex]
Therefore, 76 five-foot tall people standing on each other's heads will reach the top of Hyperion, a 380-foot tree.
Hope this helps! :)
