To find the height of each block, you need to divide the total height of the tower by the number of blocks used.
1. Total height of the tower = 64 inches
2. Total number of blocks = 30
Now, divide the total height by the number of blocks:
[ text{Height of each block} = frac{64 text{ inches}}{30 text{ blocks}} ]
This simplifies to:
[ frac{64}{30} = frac{32}{15} ]
So, each block is ( frac{32}{15} ) inches tall, which can also be expressed as a mixed number:
[ 32 div 15 = 2 text{ R } 2 ]
Thus, the height of each block is ( 2 frac{2}{15} ) inches.
