One third of the length of a pole will s underground, one fifth is in water and the remaining 7 meters is above water. How long is the pole

Answer»

Answer:

15m

Step-by-step explanation:

LET THE LENGTH OF THE POLE BE X

ACCORDING TO THE GIVEN STATEMENT,

⅓ x = underground

⅕ x = in water

THEREFORE total length SUBMERGED = ⅕ + ⅓ = 8/15 x

15/15 x - 8/15 x = 7/15 x

7/15 x = 7

x = 15 * 7 / 7

= 15m
