Question

A6 ft tall man standing next to a tree casts a 8 ft shadow. If the tree is 15 ft tall then how long is its shadow?

Answer 1

Answer:

The tree's shadow is 20 ft long.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you take 6 and 15 and turn it into a fraction 6/15 and take 8 and the missing value (x) and turn that into a fraction 8/x, then you can move to the multiplication.

6/15 *8/x = 6x=120/6

120/6=20

Hope this helps :)
