Question 287275
Problem # 287275
A young man 150cm tall cast a shadow that was 200cm long. His father's shadow cast at the same time of day was 240cm long. How tall was his father?
Translate:
I would draw out the problem to visualize it better then label.
  150cm/p = 200 cm/240cm   

Solve:
(150)240  =  (200)p

(150)240/200  =  (200)p/200
    
(150)240/200 = p

p=180 cm

The fathers height is 180 cm
