Problema Solution

A crocodile lives at the zoo where it was born. At birth it was 2/3 foot long. Years later, it is 4 feet long. How many inches has it grown in its lifetime?

Answer provided by our tutors

4 - 2/3 = 12/3 - 2/3 = 10/3 ft

1 ft = 12 in

(10/3)*12 = 40 in

The crocodile has grown 40 inches in its lifetime.
