A 2.4 m high tree casts a shadow. At the same time of day, a 1.7m tall woman casts a shadow x cm long.... The ratio (proportion) of the height to the shadow can be written as 2.4/3= 1.7/X ...(a) simplifiy the ration 2.4/3 to one with whole numbers...(b) find the length of the womans shadow (to one decimal point)
