Answer: 196.8

Explanation:

Start off by reading the problem.

A radio tower casts a shadow of 8.2 ft long and a 36-inches and a fourth-grader walking home cast a shadow of 1.5 inches. How tall is the radio tower?

Then take what you know from the problem and put it in a fraction looking thing:

like this:

1.5 8.2

__ = __

36 x

So after you've done this you will want to:

Multiply 36 x 8.2 = 295.2

take 295.2 then Divide by 1.5

=196.8
