    Ok ratio and proportion

    realheight:shadow=15:20

    slide shadow=16

    therefor find realheightslide

    15:20=realheightslide:16

    simplify

    3:4=realheight:16

    fractionfy

    3/4=realheight/16

    multiply both sides by 16

    48/4=realheight

    12=realheight

    aswer is 12 feet
