Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

1. First, let's set up a ratio because these relations are proportional/similar.

  • 5:15 = x:18, or 5/15 = x/18

2. Now, let's solve for x to find how tall Dixon is.

  • [tex]\frac{5}{15} = \frac{x}{18}[/tex]

Step 1: Simplify.

  • [tex]\frac{1}{3} = \frac{x}{18}[/tex]

Step 2: Cross-multiply.

  • [tex]3 * x = 18 * 1[/tex]
  • [tex]3x = 18[/tex]

Step 3: Divide both sides by 3.

  • [tex]\frac{3x}{3} = \frac{18}{3}[/tex]
  • [tex]x = 6[/tex]

Therefore, Dixon is 6 feet tall.
