Answer:

An average ant is 2\frac{2}{3} times longer than an average aphid

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x------> an average ant long

y-----> an average aphid long

we have

x=\frac{1}{4}\ in

y=\frac{3}{32}\ in

we know that

\frac{x}{y}=\frac{(1/4)}{(3/32)}=\frac{32}{12}=\frac{8}{3}

convert to mixed number

\frac{8}{3}=\frac{6}{3}+\frac{2}{3}=2+\frac{2}{3}=2\frac{2}{3}

therefore

\frac{x}{y}=2\frac{2}{3}

isolate the variable x

x=2\frac{2}{3}y

This  is a proportion which can be obtained just dividing the sizes;

(1/4) / (3/32) = 8/3 ≈ 2.7 times larger

dalvyx [7]
So 8w=4c and 2c=3g. divide the first equation by 2 and you get 4w=2c. merge the two equation give you 4w=2c=3g, or 4w=3g. multiply 4 on both sides give you 16w=12g. So 16 widgets equal how 12 goof-ups?
