Dru is challenged by her geometry teacher to estimate the height of the school flag pole without measuring. She decided to walk off the length of the shadow cast by the pole by successively walking the noted length of her own shadow. If Dru is 5ft 6 in. tall and she estimates the flagpole shadow is 14 times as long as her own shadow, then what is the approximate height of the flag pole?

Okay well I'm not 100% on this but what I would do is take Dru's height of 5ft 6in, other wise known as 5.6 and multiply it times 14 because in the question it says the the flag poles shadow is 14 times her shadow and you would get 78.4 
I'm honestly not sure if that's right but that's what I would do..
