Answer:

48'11'' or 587''

Explanation:

First convert to inches

5ft= 12 times 5 = 60 then plus 6=66in.= Jen's height

The ratio of the Jen height to Jen's shadow heightis 5'6'' : 9' which is equal to 66in.:108in.

To find the ratio we do 108/66 = 1.636...

Then we do 80' which is equal to 960"

Lastly we do 960/1.636... to get 586.797in for the height of the tree

48'11'' or 587''
