height/shadow = 140/147 = h/196
so
h = 140 * 196 / 147 = 186.67
At 3:00 PM a man 140 cm tall casts a shadow 147 cm long. At the same time, a tall building nearby casts a shadow 196 m long. How tall is the building?

Well, we do not agree.
147 is not much more than 140
so the height will be almost 196
