THE AVERAGE SIZE OF A FEMALE CUBAN TREE FROG IS 6 IN AND THE MALE CUBAN TREE FROG IS ABOUT 2/5 OF THE FEMALE CUBAN TREE FROG .WHAT IS THE SIZE OF THE MALE CUBAN TREE FROG ?

To find the size of the male Cuban tree frog, we can use the ratio given: the male is about \( \frac{2}{5} \) of the size of the female.

Given:
- Female Cuban tree frog size = 6 inches
- Male Cuban tree frog size = \( \frac{2}{5} \times 6 \)

Now, calculate:

\[
\frac{2}{5} \times 6 = \frac{12}{5} = 2.4 \, \text{inches}
\]

So, the size of the male Cuban tree frog is **2.4 inches**.

Here are 5 related questions to expand your understanding:
1. How would the size change if the female frog were larger, say 8 inches?
2. What is the difference in size between the male and female frogs in inches?
3. How can you express the size of the male frog as a percentage of the female's size?
4. If the male frog were \( \frac{3}{5} \) of the female size, what would its size be?
5. How would the ratio affect other animals if a similar relationship held?

**Tip:** When working with fractions, multiplying them by a whole number is a simple way to scale down quantities proportionally.
