Answer:

2 around 2 or 3 stories is total stories at which ladder can reached

Explanation:

Given data:

Height of building is given as 10 feet

Distance between the ladder bottom and building is 24 feet

Number of stories on which ladder can reached is calculated as

Number of stories is
$= (distance\ between\ ladder\ bottom\ and\ building)/(height\ of\ 1\ story)$

Number of stories is
=(24)/(10) = 2.4

Therefore 2 around 2 or 3 stories is total stories at which ladder can reached
