b. 4 feet
c. 4 1/4 feet
d. 4 3/4 feet

Respuesta :

the answer would be A

Answer:

Option a is correct

[tex]4\frac{1}{8}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

As per  the statement:

A rattlesnake at a zoo is 5 1/2=[tex]\frac{11}{2}[/tex] feet long.

We have to find the  length of the corn snake.

[tex]\text{Length of the corn snake} = \frac{3}{4} \times \text{Length of rattlesnake}[/tex]

Substitute the given value we have;

[tex]\text{Length of the corn snake} = \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{11}{2}[/tex]

⇒[tex]\text{Length of the corn snake} = \frac{33}{8}[/tex]

or

[tex]\text{Length of the corn snake} = 4\frac{1}{8}[/tex]

Therefore, the  length of the corn snake is, [tex]4\frac{1}{8}[/tex]
