Answer 1

Answer:

4.8 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The largest frog in the world is goliath which is 12 inches long.

           The smallest frog is about 2.5 as long as the goliath.

Lets assume the length of smallest frog be "x".

As given, smallest frog is about 2.5 as long as the goliath.

∴ we can form equation as $2.5x= 12\ inches$

Solving the equation to find the value of x

$2.5x= 12$

Dividing both side by 2.5

⇒ $x= \frac{12}{2.5}$

∴ $x= 4.8\ inches$

Hence, the length of smallest frog is 4.8 inches.
