Are you asking how long and 80 year old turtle is? The question is kinda confusing.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok, I'll explain the math.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The baby turtle shows that it grows 1.5 inches a year, 2 years, 3 inches. So using that info, we can write this. y=years l=length 1.5y=l so 1.5 (80) = 120 inches

Got it thanks, the final answer is 10ft
