SOLUTION
From the question
6 inches ruler projects 15 inches on the board and
paper projects 35 inches on the board
Let P represents the length of the paper. so we have
[tex]\begin{gathered} 6\text{ inches }\rightarrow15\text{ inches } \\ P\text{ inches }\rightarrow35\text{ inches } \\ cross\text{ multiply we have } \\ 6\times35=15\times P \\ 210=15P \\ P=\frac{210}{15} \\ P=14 \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence the length of the paper is 14 inches
