centimeters did the plant grow during these 3

weeks?

3 centimeters

6.95 centimeters

7.95 centimeters

10.95 centimeters

Answer 1

6.95 centimeters

Explanation:

The plant grows in a period of 3 weeks. According to given data :

Growth in 1st Week = 1.2 cm

Growth in 2nd Week = 2.75 cm

Growth in the 3rd Week = 3 cm

Total growth during 3 weeks = Growth in 1st Week + Growth in 2nd Week + Growth in 3rd Week

Total growth during 3 weeks =1.2+2.75+3

Total growth during 3 weeks = 6.95 cm

Which is the growth of the plant in a period of 3 weeks.
