Question 565149: I am helping my daughter with her homework & I caanot remember how to do these. This is how the problem reads:
A telephone booth that is 8feet tall casts a shadow that is 4 feet long. Find the height of a lawn ornament that casts a 2 feet shadow.
Answer by jim_thompson5910(35256) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
8/4=x/2
8*2 = 4x
16 = 4x
16/4 = x
x = 4
So the lawn ornament is 4 ft tall.
