Ms Greene class has two chameleons. Lumpy total length is 12 inches and Larry is 6 inches. Each of their fails is twice as long as its body. How long is lumpy tail

So to figure this out, you need to do 2/3 *12 Because 3/3 = the whole body and 2/3 is 2 times 1/3 of the body. The correct answer would be 8. Also, you can draw a rectangle to model this and split it into 3 parts.

Let n be the age of the youngest sister. Since the ages are consecutive odd integers, the next sister's age is n+2, and the oldest sister is n+4.

 

the following equation represents the relationship between the girls' ages.

 

n + 3(n + 4) = 5(n + 2) - 5

 

n + 3n + 12 = 5n + 10 - 5

 

4n + 12 = 5n +5

-4n  -5      -4n -5

7 = n

 

so the sisters are 7, 9, and 11
