Question

A 6-ft adult has a shadow 3.6 ft long. How long is the shadow of a 5-ft child standing next to the adult?

2.6 ft


4 ft


3 ft


3.6 ft

Answer 1

It wouldn’t be 3.6ft because that’s how long the adult’s shadow is. It also couldn’t be 4ft because, it wouldn’t make sense for the child to be taller. I think 2.6ft is the best choice .
