Jomar who is five and a half feet tall wants to measure the length of his shadow at a certain time of the day, but he can’t seem to figure out how. He saw that a 11-foot three casts a shadow and he measured it to be 5.7 ft. How long (ft) is his shadow at that time? Express your answer 1 decimal place.
