Hey there!

To solve this problem, you can multiply the numbers 3/4 and 7 1/3 since it is times as long as the world's smallest gecko . . .

3/4 = 3/4

7 1/3 = 22/3

3 x 22 = 66

4 x 3 = 12

Simplifying 66/12 . . .

66/12 = 5 1/2 <-------

An adult male Western Banded Gecko is 5 1/2 inches long.

Hope this helps you.
Have a great day!
