Question

On the first day of the month, the height of a plant was 9.46cm. At the end of the month, the plant’s height measured 15.3cm. How many centimeters did the plant grow from the beginning to the end of the month?

Answer 1

To solve this problem you would subtract its initial height from the final height. This will tell you how much it grew in total.

15.3-9.46 = 5.84cm
