Answer:
170/30 inches Larger Lizard
Step-by-step explanation:
Small lizard 5/6 inches long
Larger lizard 6 4/5 times (x) larger than the small lizard 5/6 inches long
Step 1. Try to make everything the same before doing anything else. You can do this by getting rid of the whole number in 6 4/5 :
Use the denominator of this equation 6(4/5 ), which is 5, with the whole number (6) and then the add the numerator (4) to it. Example, 5x6= 30, 30+4=34 , you now have 34/5 . Now it is the same as 5/6
Since the size of the larger lizard is 34/5 longer than the size of the small lizard, all you have to do is multiply the fractions together to get your answer;
(5/6) x (34/5)= Numerator 5x34=170 , Denominator 5x6=30
Your answer is: Numerator/Denominator ===> 170/30
The larger lizard is 170/30 inches long or, 17/3 inches long.
