Question

Karl measured the wingspan of the butterfly and the moth shown below how many times larger is the moth than the butterfly? 3 1/4 in (butterfly) 3 1/2 in (moth)

Answer 1

Answer: 1/1/3

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:
`1(1)/(13)`

Explanation:

Given : The wingspan of the butterfly :
`3(1)/(4)\text{ inches}=(13)/(4)\text{ inch}`

The length of moth =
`3(1)/(2)\text{ inches}=(7)/(2)\text{ inches}`

To find the number of times larger is the moth than the butterfly, we divide the length of moth by the wingspan of the butterfly as :_

`(7)/(2)/(13)/(4)\\\\=(7)/(2)*(4)/(13)=(14)/(13)=1(1)/(13)`

Hence, the moth is
`1(1)/(13)` times larger than the butterfly.
