Question

If a 5-foot man casts a 6-foot shadow, how tall is a tree that casts a
24-foot shadow?

Answer 1

28.8 foot shadow

Explanation:

to do that, you would have to make proportionate fractions. That would mean that you do 5/6 = 24/x. Then you would just cross multiply to get 5x = 144. Then you would divide to isolate x. That would give you 28.8
