Question

A tree casts a shadow of 3 meters, while a meter stick casts a shadow of 0.75 meters. How tall is the tree?

Answer 1

3.75 meters I would presume.

Explanation: since a single meter casts a shadow of 0.75 meters that means for each meter, 0.25 meters are missing. So I added 0.75 to three, because there was 3 meters and 3 time 0.25 was 0.75 .
