Let’s check out your problem:

The length of a collapsed length fishing pole is 
c, which is 
(1)/(5) times as long as its extended length. The extended length of the pole is 15 feet.
What is its collapsed length?
The collapsed length of the pole is 
◻ feet.

The length of a collapsed length fishing pole is c c , which is 15 \frac{1}{5} times as long as its extended length. The extended length of the pole is 1515 feet.\newlineWhat is its collapsed length?\newlineThe collapsed length of the pole is \square feet.

Full solution

Q. The length of a collapsed length fishing pole is c c , which is 15 \frac{1}{5} times as long as its extended length. The extended length of the pole is 1515 feet.\newlineWhat is its collapsed length?\newlineThe collapsed length of the pole is \square feet.
  1. Identify Relationship: Step 11: Identify the relationship between the collapsed length cc and the extended length. The problem states that the collapsed length is 15\frac{1}{5} of the extended length, which is 1515 feet. Calculation: c=15×15c = \frac{1}{5} \times 15
  2. Calculate Collapsed Length: Step 22: Calculate the collapsed length.\newlineCalculation: c=(15)×15=3c = (\frac{1}{5}) \times 15 = 3 feet.
