Question

Alexandra’s apple tree grew 12 inches in 4 months. If the tree grows at the same rate, how many inches will the tree be in 2 years?

Answer 1

Answer: 72 inches in 2 years

Explanation:

if it grew 12 inches in 4 months, then when you divide 12 by 4, you get 3, which means it grows 3 inches per month, and in 2 years there are 2*12=24 months, and 24*3 is equal to 72, so it would grow 72 inches
