Question

A man is 6 feet tall. At 1:00, he casts a shadow that is 18 inches long. A nearby tree is 32 feel tall. At the same time of day, how long is the tree's shadow?

Answer 1

The answer of this would be 8 feet long.

If you take 6 feet and put that into inches, the man would be 72 inches tall. at one oclock he casts a shadow that is 1/4 of his length. so if we take this knowledge to the tree and divide 32 feet by 4, we get 8 feet long

answer: 8 feet
