Using proportion...

length of barn                       length of tree
--------------------------------  =  --------------------------------
length of barn's shadow       length of tree's shadow

20       x
----  =  ---
12       8

Using cross-multiplication...

20 x 8 = 12x
160 = 12x
x = 13 1/3 or 13.3333

The tree is 13 1/3 meters long.

Answer:

1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

So, we can create this representation of a in relation with b, since we know a is smaller than b by 1/5 of b, we can say that a is equal to 4/5 of b, right?

a = \frac{4}{5} b

To invert the ratio, we need to isolate B, so we multiply both sides of the equation by 5/4

a * \frac{5}{4} = * \frac{5}{4} * \frac{4}{5} b = b\\ \\ b = \frac{5}{4} a

So, we have b being 1/4 bigger than a.
