Please guys help me :( A bell tower that is 60 yards tall casts a shadow 32 yards long. If a nearby windmill is 45 yards tall, how long will the windmill's shadow be?
Write your answer as a whole number or a decimal. Do not round.

The shadow of the windmill will be 24 yards long

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us use the ratio method to solve the question

∵ A bell tower that is 60 yards tall casts a shadow 32 yards long

∴ The tall = 60 yards and the shadow = 32 yards

∵ A windmill is  45 yards tall

∴ The tall = 45 yards

→ By using the ratio method

→ Tall  :  Shadow

→  60   :  32

→  45   :  x

→ By using the cross multiplication

∵ x × 60 = 45 × 32

∴ 60x = 1440

→ Divide both sides by 60

∵

∴ x = 24

∴ The shadow of the windmill will be 24 yards long
