Most of the information's required for solving the question is already given in the question.
Height of the building that casts a shadow of 20 m = 32 m
Then
Height of the man that casts a shadow of 1.2 m = (32/20) * 1.2 meter
                                                                             = 3.2 * 1.2 meter
                                                                             = 3.84 meter
So the actual height of the person casting a shadow of 1.2 meter is 3.84 meters. I hope that the procedure used for solving the problem is easy enough for you to understand. You can definitely use this method in future for solving problems of similar type without requiring any additional help from outside.

Rosa can run 4 miles in 56 minutes.How many miles does rosa run if she runs 42 minutes?
Alex Ar [27]
Rosa runs 3 miles in 42 minutes.

I divided 42 by 56 to get the percentage that will be multiplied to 4 miles to get the number of miles Rosa runs in 42 minutes.

42 / 56 = 0.75 * 100% = 75%

75% * 4 miles = 3 miles.

3 miles within 42 minutes
