Answer: 150 feet

==========================================================

Work Shown:

(Kate's height)/(Kate's shadow) = (Coaster height)/(Coaster's shadow)

(5 feet)/(2 feet) = (x feet)/(60 feet)

5/2 = x/60

5*60 = 2x

300 = 2x

300/2 = x

150 = x

x = 150

The coaster is 150 feet tall. This is the same height as a 15 story building if each floor is 10 feet tall.
