equation

An equation is an expression used to show the relationship between two or more variables and numbers.

Let x represent the length of his shadow. Given that the ratio of ernie's height to his shadow's height is 1.5 to 1. Hence:

• (1.5/2.5) * y = 6
• y = 10 feet

(1/2.5) * 10 = x

x = 4 feet

The height of Ernies shadow is 4 feet when his height is 6 feet.
