Question 458061: Sophie cast a shadow 5ft long. Her father, who is 6ft tall, cast a shadow 8ft long. How tall is sophie? A. 6ft 8in, B. 4ft 10in, C. 4ft 6in, D. 3ft 9in, E. 2ft 3in
How do i solve this? I converted 8ft and 5ft into inches and subtracted and got 4ft and 6in. I want someone to verify if i got it right.
