Question

A dragon likes to eat red peppers and green peppers because they help him breathe fire. If the

dragon eats 2 red peppers, he can breathe fire that is 25 meters long. If the dragon eats 10 green
peppers, he can breathe fire that is 15 meters long. Today, the dragon ate 3 red peppers and 5
green peppers. How long is the fire?
THANK U

Answer 1

From the given information, we know that 2 red peppers produce a fire that is 25 meters long, and 10 green peppers produce a fire that is 15 meters long.

To find the length of the fire produced by the dragon eating 3 red peppers and 5 green peppers, we can use a proportion:

(3/2) * 25 + (5/10) * 15 = x

where x is the length of the fire produced by the dragon eating 3 red peppers and 5 green peppers.

Simplifying the equation, we get:

37.5 = x

Therefore, the length of the fire produced by the dragon eating 3 red peppers and 5 green peppers is 37.5 meters.
