Answer: x = 3.75 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

     We will set up a proportion to solve.

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{6 \text{ inches}}{16 \text{ feet}} =\frac{x \text{ inches}}{10 \text{ feet}}[/tex]

     Now, we will cross multiply, simplify and isolate the variable to solve your math problem.

6 * 10 = 16 * x

60  = 16x

3.75 = x

x = 3.75 inches
