Question

A flagpole casts a shadow 32 feet long. If a man 6 feet tall casts a shadow 8 feet long at the same time and location, how tall is the flagpole

Answer 1

36 feet because you are basically adding two feet for every six feet. 

Answer 2

x/32=6/8
cross multiply
8x=32×6
x=192÷8
x=24 feet tall
