Marissa is standing next to an 18-foot tall flagpole that is casting a 12-foot long shadow. If Marissa's shadow is 3 12 feet long, how tall is Marissa?

Answer :

Answer:

5'3

Step-by-step explanation:

This quesiton will look like this: 18/12  x/3.5. Remeber about height/shawdow.

You will need to cross muitply 18 and 3.5 and keep 12, x as 12x.

Now it will look like this: 12x=63. Divide that 63 with 12 and you will get 5.25.

Since there is a 5 next to that 2 you add 1 because 5 or higher add one and 5 or lower don't add anything.

You got rid of that 5 and added 1 to the 2, you will have 5'3

Hoped it helped!
