A Deer mouse is 7 1/4 inches long. If the tail is 1/2 its body length. How long is it tail?
For this you just have to solve 1 1/4 divided by 2. First you need to convert 1/4 to a decimal. You can think of it like money, and since four quarters make a dollar, and a quarter is 25 cents, 1/4 = 0.25. Now we have 7.25, and we just divide it by two.
7.25 / 2 = 3.62
It's tail is 3.62 inches. Hope this helps ^w^
To find the length of the tail, we first need to determine the body length of the deer mouse. Given that the mouse itself is 7 1/4 inches long:
Step 1: Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction:
7 1/4 = (7 * 4 + 1) / 4 = 29/4
Step 2: Find the body length:
Body length = 29/4 inches
Step 3: Determine the length of the tail:
The tail is 1/2 the body length, so:
Tail length = (1/2) * (29/4) inches
Step 4: Simplify the fraction:
Tail length = 29/8 inches
Therefore, the length of the tail is 29/8 inches.
To find the length of the tail, we need to determine half of the body length of the Deer mouse first. Then we can calculate the length of the tail by multiplying it by 1/2.
Given that the Deer mouse is 7 1/4 inches long, we need to convert this mixed number into an improper fraction.
7 1/4 = (4 * 7 + 1)/4 = (28 + 1)/4 = 29/4
Now we can calculate half of the body length of the Deer mouse:
(1/2) * (29/4) = 29/8
To simplify this fraction, we can multiply the numerator and denominator by 2:
(29/8) * (2/2) = (58/16)
So, the body length of the Deer mouse is 58/16 inches.
Now we need to find the length of the tail by multiplying the body length by 1/2:
(58/16) * (1/2) = (58/32)
To simplify this fraction, we can divide the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2:
(29/16)
Therefore, the length of the tail of the Deer mouse is 29/16 inches.
if the tail is half the body length, then the body is 2 tails long.
That is, the whole mouse is tail+body = tail + 2tails = 3tails long
7 1/4 ÷ 3 = 29/4 ÷ 3 = 29/12 = 2 5/12 inches long
