Answer: 0.6 cm

Explanation:

Given : Over the past 4 years, Grandpa Ernie's height decreased by a total of 2.4 cm.

If the height is decreased by the same amount each year.

Then, the change in Grandpa Ernie's height each year will be =

Total decrease in height ÷ 4

= 2.4 cm ÷ 4 = 0.6 cm

Hence, the change in Grandpa Ernie's height each year = 0.6 cm
