Question

At the same time a 6 foot person casts a 2 foot shadow, a nearby flagpole casts a ten foot

shadow. How tall is the flagpole?

Answer 1

30 feet

Explanation:

I found the unit. So a 6 feet person casts a 2 foot shadow

I divided both numbers by 2

Therefore getting a 3 foot person casts a 1 foot shadow

If the flagpole casts a ten foot shadow I multiplied 10×1 and 30 ×1. Meaning that the 30 foot flagpole casts a 10 foot shadow
