Ramiro is 3/10 as tall as the flagpole. The flagpole is 5/9 as tall as the nearby tree. The tree is 32 2/5 feet tall. How tall is Ramiro?

Answer:

5.4 feet

Explanation:

Start with the flagpole. It is 5/9 of 32 2/5.

32 2/5 = 162/5.

5/9 * 162/5 = 162/9.

Ramiro is 3/10 as tall as 162/9.

3/10 * 162/9 = 27/5, or 5.4 feet tall
