long A. Write an equation to find the number of inches it still needs to grow to be 120 inches long B. Solve the equation. How many inches does the Komodo dragon still need to grow to be 120 inches long?

Answer 1

Answer: A. To find the number of inches the Komodo dragon still needs to grow to be 120 inches long, we can subtract its current length from 120:

Length still needed to grow = 120 inches - 92 inches

B. Solving the equation:

Length still needed to grow = 120 - 92

= 28 inches

Therefore, the Komodo dragon still needs to grow 28 inches to reach a length of 120 inches.
