The woman is 6 foot tall
<h3>What is proportion?</h3>
Proportion can be defined as the mathematical comparison of two numbers.
These numbers could be numbers, elements, set or people
From the information given, we have that;
- The globe is 3 feet and casts a shadow of 8ft
- The woman cast a shadow of 16ft and is x feet tall
So,
if the globe is 3 foot tall and casts a shadow of 8ft
Then the woman is x foot tall to cast a shadow of 16ft
cross multiply
8x = 24
Make 'x' the subject
x = 48/ 8
x = 6 foot
Thus, the woman is 6 foot tall
