Denoting Caroline's palm by x x , we'll have:

8 × 22 = 11 × x 8\times{22}=11\times{x}

x = 16 c m x=\boxed{16 cm}

Work hard, dude. Or how we can say in portuguese: "Trabalhe forte, carinha". Entre em contato comigo, tenho outros problemas legais. C:

1 palm of his father is 22cm, then 8 palms will be 8 × 22 8 \times 22

Similarly, Let 1 palm of Caroline be x x , then 11 palms will be 11 × x 11 \times x

Therefore, 8 × 22 = 11 × x 8 \times 22 = 11 \times x

Gives, x = 16 x=16 cm

Why did you LaTeX this so much???? XD
