According to the rule of similar polygons the ratio of corresponding sides of two polygons will be the same. So in this case the ratio of original length and shadow of a stick and ratio of length of flagpole and its shadow will be the same.
Length of Stick = 5 feet
Shadow of Stick = 8 feet
Shadow of flagpole = 32 feet
Length of flagpole = x = ?
Using rule of similar polygon we can write,

Therefore, the length of flagpole will be 20 feet.
Answer: 2 19/24 hours was spent in practising.
Step-by-step explanation:
During the first hour, they practiced for 5/8 of an hour. During the second hour, they practiced for 2/3 of an hour. This means that the total time for which they practiced in the first 2 hours would be
5/8 + 2/3 = 31/24 hours
During the last two hours, they first practiced for 3/5 of an hour, took a 1/2 hour break and then practiced the rest of the time. This means that the rest of the time for which they practiced is
2 - (3/5 + 1/2) = 2 - 11/10 = 9/10
Therefore, the time they spent practicing in total would be
31/24 + 3/5 + 9/10 = 67/24 =
2 19/24 hours
