Atree casts a shadow that is about 10 ft long. javier, who is about 5 ft tall, is standing near the tree. javier’s shadow is about 4 ft long. what is the estimated height, t, of the tree?

Shadow:
10 feet long (tree) ... 4 feet long (Javier)
Real situation:
t feet high = ? (tree) ... 5 feet tall (Javier)

If you would like to know what is the estimated height of the tree, you can calculate this using the following steps:

10 * 5 = 4 * t
50 = 4 * t      /4
t = 50 / 4
t = 12.5 feet high

Result: The estimated height of the tree is 12.5 feet.

1.5 pounds because you put 9over 6 and then divide by 6
