Answer 1

The answer would be A

Answer 2

Answer:

Option a is correct

$4\frac{1}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

As per  the statement:

A rattlesnake at a zoo is 5 1/2=$\frac{11}{2}$ feet long.

We have to find the  length of the corn snake.

$\text{Length of the corn snake} = \frac{3}{4} \times \text{Length of rattlesnake}$

Substitute the given value we have;

$\text{Length of the corn snake} = \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{11}{2}$

⇒$\text{Length of the corn snake} = \frac{33}{8}$

or

$\text{Length of the corn snake} = 4\frac{1}{8}$

Therefore, the  length of the corn snake is, $4\frac{1}{8}$
