Question

Joe is 72 inches tall and has a 108 inch shadow at the same time martha has a 96 inch shadow how tall is martha

Answer 1

64 inches

Explanation:

Given :

(Joe's height / Joe's shadow) = (Martha's height / Martha's shadow)

Let Martha's height = h

72 in / 108 in = h / 96 in

Cross multiply :

108 * h = 72 * 96

h = (72 * 96) / 108

h = 6912 / 108

h = 64 inches

Martha is 64 inches tall.
