Asked by Whitney
The height of a pop can is 15 cm and its shadow is 20 cm long. A carton of milk next to the can is 0.25 m tall. Determine the length of the carton's shadow, to one tenth of a centimeter.
I did 100cm*0.25... but the answer is 33.3cm How did they get that?

0.15/20 = 0.25/x
Cross multiply and solve for x.
20 * 0.25 = 0.15x
5/0.15 = x
33.33 = x
