Answer:

33 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the ratio of the student to their shadow and flagpole to its shadow are equal, then you can use the proportion

5.5/3 = x/18 and cross multiply to find x.

5.5 × 18 = 99

3 × x = 3x

3x/3 = x, 99/3 = 33.

x = 33.

A used book store will trade 2 of its books for 3 of yours. If Val brings in 18 books to trade, how many books can she get from
Shalnov [3]
You need to set it up as a fraction and make the fractions equal each other. 
2/3 (2 of their books for 3 of yours)
x/18 (x amount of their books for 18 of yours)
(2/3)=(x/18)
multiply both sides by 18 
and you get 
36/3 which reduces to 12

so your answer is 12
