Question

Emilio found that a scarecrow that is 8 feet tall casts a shadow 15 feet long. Then Emilio noticed that a lemon tree nearby casts a shadow 30 feet long. How tall is the lemon tree?

Answer 1

16 feet long

Explanation:

If the tree's shadow length is 15 and you want to find the tree which is 30, you multiply by two and you have to multiply the 8 as well by two and you get 16.
