Valerie is 30 inches tall and casts a shadow that is 12
inches long. At the same time, ber teddy bear casts a
shadow that is eight inches long. How tall is the teddy
bear?

Respuesta :

Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

30:12 is the original ratio. So if you divide both sides by the numbers' GCF of 6 you'll get a simplified ratio of 5:2. Then multiply both sides by 4 to keep the ratio constant, then you'd get 20:8. So when the teddy bear casts a shadow of 8 inches long the actual teddy bear is 20 inches tall. Hope this helps!
