Dixon and his little sister Ariadne stand next to each other on the playground on a sunny afternoon. Their mother measures their
shadows. Dixon's shadow is 18 feet long and Ariadne's shadow is 15 feet long. If Dixon is 6 feet tall, how tall is Ariadne?
2 answers:
Ariadne is 5 feet tall because 18 is 6x3 which would mean you would have to divide 15 by three to get the answer which is 5.
She would be 5ft tall because if you set the problem up in a ratio and cross multiple and divide 5 is your answer
