Question

If 6-foot-tall Madeleine casts an 108-inch shadow, how tall is her friend if, at the same time, his shadow is 1.5 feet shorter than hers?

Answer 1

the shadow of Madeleine in feet is = 108/12 = 9
the shadow of her friend = 9 - 1.5 = 7.5
now use the ratio...
if the height of her friend is x
then
\[\frac{ 6 }{ x } = \frac{ 9 }{ 7.5 }\]

where u will get the height of her friend as
5 feet
