Answer:
The length of the tail is 60 centimetres
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Total length of the lizard = 90 centimetres.
Tail is 2/3 long
To Find:
Length of the tail =?
Solution:
The question states that the length of the tail is [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] of the length of the lizard.
So let the length of the Lizard's tail be x
Then
x= [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] of the total length of the lizard
x= [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] of 90
x = [tex]\frac{2}{3} \times 90[/tex]
x = [tex]\frac{2\times 90}{3} [/tex]
x = [tex]\frac{180}{3}[/tex]
x = 60
