You have to divide 400 by 5. That will equal 80. Since the ratio is 3:2 Just multiply 3 by 80 then 2 by 80! :-) 

You can check it by simplifying it again.

A. Interviews of random teens at a rock concert

A lighthouse casts a 128-ft shadow. A nearby lamppost that measures 5
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer: 80 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write these as fractions and do cross multiplication with the numerator being the height of the object while the denominator being the length of the shadow:

5 * 128 = 8x

640 = 8x

80 = x

Thus, the height of the lighthouse is 80 feet tall.
