Question

This is my little brothers HW and I don't get it lol plz help

Answer 1

The crocodile grows 1/5 the length he was the last week.

SO, you need to find a number that will ensure that the end result is 30.

What number plus 1/5 of it equals 30?

25.

25/5= 5

25+5= 30

So, the number is 25. The crocodile was 25 cm long last week.

I hope this helps!
