A 25-foot ladder is placed against a vertical wall. Suppose the bottom of the ladder slides away from the wall at a constant rate of 4 feet per second. How fast is the top of the ladder sliding down the wall when the bottom is 24 feet from the wall? The ladder is sliding down the wall at a rate of ft/sec. (Type an integer or a simplified fraction.)
