Answer 3

The ratio of a:b is 14:6
More simplified, it is 7:6

Answer 4

The given height of the man is 6ft
So, if we let the shadow be 'x', the ratio would be 6:x

Answer 5

Now, we must find x
using the two given ratios

Answer 6

so:
7:6 = 6:x

Answer 7

in order to solve for x, we must find out how 7 becomes 6, and this can be solved as 7 can become 6 when it is multiplied by 6/7

Answer 8

7x6=42

Answer 9

so all you need to do now, is multiply 6 by 6/7 in order to make it equal to x

Answer 10

36/7

Answer 11

What I meant was:
7 x 6/7 = 6
So,
6 x 6/7 = the dude's shadow

Answer 12

so, yeah, you got it, the shadow is 46/7 ft

Answer 13

how is is 46/7?
