Given:

A rattlesnake at a zoo is 5 1/2 feet long. A corn snake at a zoo is 3/4 of that length.

Determine the length of the corn snake.

Solution:
In order to determine the length of the corn snake, we simply multiply ¾ or 0.75 to 5 ½ of 5.5.

= (0.75)(5.5)

= 4.25 ft

Final answer:

The corn snake is 4.25 ft long.
