Question

A honeysuckle vine that is currently 22 inches tall in planted to a 4-foot fence. The honeysuckle grows at an average rate of 1/4 inch per day. At this rate, how many days will it take for it to reach the top of the fence?

Answer 1

At that rate, it will grow one inch every four days. In order to grow the remaining 26 inches (four feet=48 inches - 22 inches=26), it will need (26 remaining inches* 4 days per inch) 104 days.
