The attached image

Required

The proportion of the height of the tree

Represent the height of the tree with h.

To solve for h, we make use of the following equivalent ratio

`40 : h = 10 : 6`

Express as fraction

`(40 )/( h )= (10 )/( 6)`

Cross multiply

`40 * 6 = 10 * h`

Divide by 40h

`(40 * 6)/(40h) = (10 * h)/(40h)`

`(6)/(h) = (10)/(40)`
