Remark
Make up a proportion that relates the tree and its properties to the stick and its properties.

Givens
Stick height (s_h) = 4
Stick shadow(s_s) = 2
Tree shadow = t_s = 18
Tree height = x

Formula
s_h / s_s = x / t_s

Substitute and solve.
4/2 = x / 18  Cross multiply
4*18 = 2 * x
72 = 2x        Divide by 2
72/2 = x       
x = 36

The height of the tree is 36 feet.

Use the multiplication property of equality to multiply both sides of the equation by 1/6 to get: (1/6)6x=(1/6)48.

X= 8 because by multiplying the fraction with a whole number you had to to convert it to i a fraction and that equals one and then 1/6 times 48 is 8
