Nicholas is 5 feet 2 inches tall. On a sunny day he casts a shadow that is 3 feet long. At the same time, a nearby pole casts a shadow 15 feet 6 inches long. How tall is the pole?​

I think the pole is 13 feet 4 inches (160 inches)because 26 inches were taken away from Nicholas’ shadow
Pole equation was 186-26= 160 and since a foot has 12 inches 160 divided by 12 is 13 feet and 4 inches
