Ms. Reece's 5th grade class wants to figure out how tall the school flagpole is. On a sunny day, the class goes outside and measures that the shadow of the flagpole is about 23 feet, 3 inches long. At the same time, Juan's shadow is 5 feet, 2 inches long. Juan is 4 feet, 6 inches tall. Determine the (approximate) height of the flagpole using a method that the children in Ms. Reece's class could find plausible. Express your answer in feet and inches. The children know about multiplication and division, but they don't know any more advanced mathematics, such as setting up proportions, so you can't use proportions to do this.
