Jayden is 5 ft tall and his shadow is 2 ft. If a tree has an 12 ft shadow, how high is the tree?

Tree is 30 ft high

Step-by-step explanation:

5 : 2 :: x : 12

Product of means  = Product of extremes

2*x = 12*5

x = 6*5

x = 30 ft

the entire expression should be subtracted from 30. to subtract the quantity, distribute the negative sign, which changes the signs on the terms. so, the –2 changes to positive and gets added to 30 instead of subtracted from it.

hope this ! ^w^
