Question

9) A 14 fl tall adult giraffe standing next to a
petrified stump casts a 7 ft shadow. If the
petrified stump casts a shadow that is 2 11
long, then how tall is it?
HELP

Answer 1

I believe it would be 5feet 10inches.
Because the giraffe shadow was half of the giraffe. 2x2 =4 which would make it four feet but when you add the inches; 11x2=22...
You get an extra foot and 10 inches left over.
Please correct me if I’m wrong!
