4/6 is 0.666666666666667
3/8 is 0.375
So 4/6>3/8

Yeah his answer is correct Good job!
The length of the rope needed is 15 feet
Given the following parameters;
- Height of the pole = 9 foot
- The distance from the <u>rope away from the base </u>of the pole is 12 feet
Required
To get the length of the rope, you will use the pythagoras theorem expressed as:
Substituting the given parameters:
c² = 9² + 12²
c² =81 + 144
c² = 225
c = √225
c = 15 feet
Therefore the length of the rope needed is 15 feet
