Question

geckos and iguanas are both lizards. The length of the average gecko is about two fifths of the length of average iguana. Geckos are about 10 in. long. What is the lenth of an average iguana.

Answer 1

Answer:

25 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we know geckos are 2/5 of an Iguana's length, we need to find the length of 1/5.

So if 10 in. is 2/5, 5 in, is 1/5.

Now, since the denominator is 5, we multiply 5 in. by 5.

5x5=25 in.

25 in. is the length of an average Iguana.

Answer 2

25

10/1 x 2/5
Butterfly method
10x5 is 50
50 divided by 2 is 25
