A 7-foot tall stop sign creates a shadow that is 2 feet long. At the same time, a utility pole creates a shadow that is 11 feet long. How tall, in feet, is the utility pole?

About 3.14/the answer is much longer but what you do is 7 divided by 2 that gives 3.5 you can check this by dividing 2/3.5 that gives you 7 then take 11/3.5 that will give you a very long number
