Question

Jacob and Roman are standing next to each other. Jacob, who is 152 cm tall, has a shadow that is 38 cm long. If Roman is 136 cm tall, approximately how long is his shadow?

16 cm
34 cm
42 cm
54 cm

Answer 1

You can set up a proportion to determine the shadow length:

38/152 = x/136

Now, just cross-multiply and divide:

152x = (38)(136) -> x = (38)(136)/152
