Answer:
The length of the lizard is 187 inches
Solution:
It is given that Jeff’s beagle is 2 feet 6 inches long.
Le the length of the longest lizard be x.
We first convert 2 feet 6 inches into inches.
We know,
1 feet =12 inch
2 feet = 12
2 = 24 inch
2 feet 6 inches = 24 + 6 = 30 inches
Similarly,
13 feet = 13
12 = 156 inches.
13 feet 1 inch = 156 +1 = 157 inches
According to question the longest lizard is 13 feet 1 inch or 157 inch longer than Jeff’s beagle.
Length of the lizard = 157 +30 = 187 inch
