Answer:

The tree is about 8 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

7 2/3 = 7.6 as a fraction.

30 1/5 = 30.5 as a fraction.

Know, we must divide 30.5 by 7.6.

30.5 ÷ 7.6 = 4 when rounded to the nearest whole number.

Since we know that the stake is 2 feet, we must multiply this by 4, since the other shadow is 4 times the amount of the stake.

2 x 4 = 8

This means the tree is about 8 feet.
