If a menorah is 20 cubits high, and 1 cubit=18 inches, then simply multiply 20 by 18. 18*20=360 inches. Since there are 12 inches in 1 foot, 360/12=30. So, according to the code of Jewish law, a menorah can be 30 feet high.

Answer:

30 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Interesting question.

1 cubit = 18 inches
20 cubits = x
1/20 = 18/x Cross multiply
x = 20 * 18
x = 360 inches.

The maximum height is 360 inches.

1 foot = 12 inches
x feet = 360 inches Cross multiply
12x = 360 * 1
12x/12 = 360/12
x = 30

The maximum height reached was 30 feet.
