A 6.5 ft tall car standing next to an adult elephant casts a 33.2 ft shadow. If the adult elephant cast a 33.2 ft shadow that is 51.5 ft long then how tall is it.

Would it be 6.5/33.2 = 51.5/x?

Please look at your question again, it makes no sense the way it reads.
Answered by Abigail
NO. it should be
6.5ft = x 334.75 ft=33.2x 33.2ft 51.5ft 10.08ft=x

x=10 (aprox)

Answered by Hannah
The math goes like:
6.5ft/33.2ft = x/51.5ft
Cross multiply - 6.5 times 51.5 = 334.75 - 33.2x
334.75 = 33.2
334.75 divided by 33.2 = 10.08283133
33.2x divided by 33.2 = x
So, x = 10.08283133 (For the last digit, I rounded from 2 to 3)

2. A 6.5 ft tall car standing next to an adult elephant casts a 33.2 ft shadow. If the adult elephant casts a shadow that is 99.6 ft long then how tall is it? Hint: If you can draw it, you can solve it. *
