Every hour past noon shadows from a building stretch an extra 5 feet, starting at zero at noon. How long are the shadows from the building 6 hours past noon in inches? Let's think first. Chain of thought:
If the shadows lengthen by 5 feet per hour, this means that in 6 hours the shadows would have lengthened from zero to 5 * 6 = 30 feet. Since there are 12 inches in every foot, this means the building's shadow would be 30 * 12 = 360 inches in length.
Therefore, the answer is 360.
