Question

If a 3 ft tall cardboard box casts a 6 ft long

shadow, then how tall is a tent that casts a
18 ft shadow?

Answer 1

9 ft tall.

Explanation:

The box that is 3 feet tall casts a 6 foot shadow, which is double the height. If we use inverse operations because we start with the shadow we will get 9 feet because 18 divided by 2 is nine.
