Question

A plant grows 3/4 of an inch every week.

Write the ratio in fractional form to determine how many inches the plant grows in a month. (Assume 4 weeks in 1 month.)




How many inches does the plant grow in a month? (Assume 4 weeks in 1 month.)

Answer 1

Let x = number of inches plant grows in a month.

(3/4)/x = 1 week/4 weeks

x(1) = (3/4)(4)

x = 3

Answer: 3 inches

Answer 2

Answer: There are 3 inches that the plant grow in a month.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

In every week , a plant grows =
`(3)/(4)` of an inch

1 month = 4 weeks

Number of inches the plant grow in a month would be

`(3)/(4)* 4\\\\=3\ inhes`

So, the ratio in fractional form of number of inches the plant grows in a month is
`(3)/(1)`

Hence, there are 3 inches that the plant grow in a month.
