Greetings!

Answer:


(19)/(12) feet

Explanation:

First, we need to find the height after one year:

2.25 + 1 1/6 =
(41)/(12)

Now to find the amount in the second year, we can subtract the above amount from 5:

5 -
(41)/(12) =
(19)/(12)

So in the second year it grew
(19)/(12) feet


Hope this helps!
