A warehouse is 120 feet tall and casts a shadow 288 feet long. At the same time, julie casts a shadow 12 feet long. how tall is julie?
Cross Multiply and solve for x
120/288=x/12
=4.25
To find the height of Julie, we can set up a proportion using the shadow lengths.
Let's represent the height of Julie as "x".
The proportion can be set up as:
Warehouse height / Warehouse shadow length = Julie's height / Julie's shadow length
Using the given values:
120 feet / 288 feet = x / 12 feet
Now, we can solve for "x" by cross-multiplying and dividing:
288x = 120 * 12
288x = 1440
x = 1440 / 288
x = 5 feet
Therefore, Julie is 5 feet tall.
Cross multiply and solve for x.
120/288 = x/12
