standard_description: Convert among different-sized standard measurement units within a given measurement system (e.g., convert 5 cm to 0.05 m), and use these conversions in solving multi-step, real world problems.
problem_activity: Lily and Ravi are visiting the Redwood Forest in California. They want to measure the height of one of the trees, but they can’t climb it. However, they are able to measure the shadow of the tree. They determine the shadow of the tree is
$$583{1\over3}$$
feet long.
If Ravi is 6 feet tall and they determine his shadow is 10 feet long, find the height of the redwood tree.
