The height of the birch is two and a half meters, and the height of a multi-storey building

The height of the birch is two and a half meters, and the height of a multi-storey building is 5 times more, how much the house is higher than the birch.

1) Determine the height of a multi-storey building using the data we have on the height of the birch (2.5 meters) and the difference in its height compared to the house (it is 5 times lower).

2.5 * 5 = 12.5.

The height of a multi-storey building is 12.5 meters.

2) Now let’s calculate how many meters the height of the house turned out to be higher than the height of the birch. To do this, subtract the height of the birch from the height of the house we obtained.

12.5 – 2.5 = 10.

The difference between the height of a multi-storey building and the height of a birch is 10 meters.

Answer: the house is 10 meters higher compared to the birch.
