    30 feet

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Interesting question.

    1 cubit = 18 inches 20 cubits = x 1/20 = 18/x Cross multiply x = 20 * 18 x = 360 inches.

    The maximum height is 360 inches.

    1 foot = 12 inches x feet = 360 inches Cross multiply 12x = 360 * 1 12x/12 = 360/12 x = 30

    The maximum height reached was 30 feet.

    If a menorah is 20 cubits high, and 1 cubit=18 inches, then simply multiply 20 by 18. 18*20=360 inches. Since there are 12 inches in 1 foot, 360/12=30. So, according to the code of Jewish law, a menorah can be 30 feet high.
