Proportion

Proportion says that two ratios (or fractions) are equal. This a mathematical comparison between numbers.

Therefore, let's establish the proportion in this situation

• Malik height / Malik shadow = Jeremy height / Jeremy shadow

Therefore,

• 72 / 60 = x / 56

cross multiply

72 × 56 = 60x

60x = 4032

divide both sides by 60

x = 4032 / 60

x = 67.2

Therefore, Jeremy's height is 67.2 inches
