Answer 2

Pine tree grows
`15(5)/(16)` inches.

Explanation:

Given that a pine tree grows at the rate of
`3(5)/(8)` inches per month.

That means growth of tree in 1 month
`=3(5)/(8)`

Then growth of tree in
`5(1)/(2)`

`=3(5)/(8)*5(1)/(2)` inches

`=3*5(5)/(8)*(1)/(2)` inches

`=15(5*1)/(8*2)` inches

`=15(5)/(16)` inches

Hence final answer is
`15(5)/(16)` inches.
