Answer 1

Answer: The length of the Ron's bridge=
`18\ inches`

Explanation:

Given: The length of the Anothony's bridge = 12 inches

Since, the length of the Ron's bridge = 150% of the length of Anthony's bridge.

⇒ The length of the Ron's bridge=
`150\%*12\ inches`

[since
`150\%=(150)/(100)=1.5` ]

⇒ The length of the Ron's bridge=
`1.5*12\ inches`

⇒ The length of the Ron's bridge=
`18\ inches`
