Question

Della bought a tree seedling that was 2 1/4 feet tall. During the first year, it grew 1 1/6 Feet. After two years, it was 5 feet tall. How much did the seedling grow during the second year?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Alright, lets get started.

Della bought a tree seeding that was
`2(1)/(4)` feet tall means
`(9)/(4)` feet.

First year it grew
`1(1)/(6)` feet means it grew
`(7)/(6)` feet.

It means after 1 year, the height of tree will be =
`(9)/(4)+(7)/(6)=(41)/(12)`

After 2 years, the height of tree is = 5 feet

So, it grew in second year =
`5-(41)/(12)`

So, it grew in second year =
`(60-41)/(12)=(19)/(12)`

So, it grew in second year=
`1(7)/(12)` feet. : Answer

Hope it will help :)
