Josie's height = 5 ft 6 in. = 5 1/2 ft = 11/2 ft.
Josie's shadow = 6 ft.

Ratio of shadow to height = 6 / 11/2 = 12/11
So, It would be equal to ratio of building's shadow to building's height.

18/x = 12/11
x = 18*11 /12
x = 3*11 / 2
x = 16.5

In short, Your Answer would be 16.5 Feet

Hope this helps!

92.96 as a fraction
nikklg [1K]
To change a decimal to a fraction you need to first place the decimal over 1. Next, for each number behind the decimal, you will multiply by a multiple of 10. Since there are 2 numbers behind the decimal, it's 100. Therefore, 
92.96 x 100 = 9296
1 x 100= 100


Your new fraction is 9296/100. Now we simplify it. I'm going by 2's so it may take a bit. 
Simplifying it twice by 2's your answer would be:

2324/25
