A tree casts a shadow 24 feet long. a 5 foot person casts a 8 foot shadow.How tall is the tree?

1 answer:

8 0

(length of tree's shadow)/(height of tree) = (length of person's shadow)/(person's height)

24/x = 8/5

24*5 = x*8

120 = 8x

8x = 120

8x/8 = 120/8

x = 15

The tree is 15 feet tall

4 dozen. That means she used half, she has 2 dozen left. 1/4 of that is 1/2 of a dozen, so she has 6 or 1/2 a dozen snickers bars left. Is this middle school? I am in middle school and my lessons are constant of proportionality!!
