Answer:

the length of flower at the end of week is 10 7/8 inches.

Explanation:

Original height = 9 3/4 inches

=> 39/4 inches

Growth in one week = 1 1/8 inches

=> 9/8 inches

The height by the end of week = Original height + growth

=> 39/4 + 9/8

=> (39*2)/4*2 + 9/8

=> 78/8 + 9/8

=> 87/8 inches

=> 10 7/8 inches

Therefore, the length of flower at the end of week is 10 7/8 inches.
