Question

An oak tree grows at a rate of 33⁄5 inches per month. How much will the tree grow in 6 1⁄2 months?

Answer 1

Answer : The oak tree grows in
`6(1)/(2)\text{ months}` will be, 42.9 inches

Step-by-step explanation :

As we are given that,

The rate of oak tree grows =
`(33)/(5)\text{ inches per month}`. Now we have to calculate the height of oak tree in
`6(1)/(2)\text{ months}=(13)/(2)\text{ months}`

As per question,

The oak tree grows in 1 month =
`(33)/(5)\text{ inches}`

The oak tree grows in
`(13)/(2)` months =
`(33)/(5)\text{ inches}* (13)/(2)`

= 42.9 inches

Therefore, the oak tree grows in
`6(1)/(2)\text{ months}` will be, 42.9 inches

Answer 2

42.9 inch

Explanation:

Multiply the amount of inches per month with the amount of months

33/5 x 6.5 = 6.6 x 6.5 = 42.9

42.9 inch is your answer
