432ft. shadow

Step-by-step explanation:

Because Nora is 5’3”, you need to convert every numerical value into inches by multiplying them by 12 (12in = 1 ft.)

5’ x 12 = 60” + 3” = 63”

9’ x 12 = 108”

252’ x 12 = 3,024”

Then create equivalent fractions.

63/108 = 3,024/x

108 x 3024 = 326,592/63 = 5,184in.

Then convert it back into feet.

5,184/12 = 432ft.

answer: 12
