Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Assume that the shadow of an object in this problem is proportional to the height of the object. One can form the following ratio to describe the objects in this problem,
As per the given problem, a (6) foot person casts a (1.7) foot shadow. Therefore, one can form the following ratio,
It is given that there is a lighthouse that has a shadow of (10.2) feet, one is asked to find its height. Use the parameter (x) to represent the unknown; since the ratios are related, one can form a proportion to solve for(x).

Answer:</h3>
<h3>
Step-by-step explanation:</h3>
We can let the variables A and B stand for the length in inches of fish A and fish B, respectively.
If we assume each person bought fish having a total length of 1 inch per gallon of aquarium, then we can write equations ...
... 3A +2B = 33 . . . . . total length of Marta's fish
... 3A +4B = 45 . . . . . total length of Hank's fish
Subtracting the first equation from the second, we get ...
... 2B = 12
... B = 6 . . . . . divide by 2
Using this value in the first equation, we have ...
... 3A + 2·6 = 33
... 3A = 21 . . . . . . . . subtract 12
... A = 7 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 3
Fish A is 7 inches long; fish B is 6 inches long.
