The world's smallest gecko is 3/4 inch long. an adult male western banded gecko is 7 1/3 times as long. how long is an adult male western banded gecko

Hello!

The easiest way to solve this question would be to convert the fraction and mixed number to a decimal, and then multiply them together.

We know that to convert a fraction to a decimal, we must divide the numerator by the denominator.

1 ÷ 3 = 0.3... (It's a repeating decimal)

0.3... + 7 = 7.3... (Still repeating)

7 1/3 = 7.(3) as a decimal.

3 ÷ 4 = 0.75

3/4 = 0.75 as a decimal.

Multiply the two decimals together:

7. (3) × 0.75 = 5.5

ANSWER:

An adult male Western Banded Gecko is 5 1/2 (or 5.5) inches long.

The Western Banded Gecko is 5 1/2 inches long
