Question

Please help me with this question by showing step by step so I can understand.A vine called the mile-a-minute weed is known for growing at a very fast rate. It can grow up to 0.25 inches per hour. How fast in feet per day can the mile-a-minute weed grow up to? Show your work using the correct conversion factors.Answer:

Answer 1

You know the following information given in the exercise:

- The vine is called the mile-a-minute weed.

- It can grow up to 0.25 inches per hour.

Then, you need to make the conversion from inches per hour to feet per day. Remember that:

`\begin{gathered} 1ft=12in \\ 1d=24h \end{gathered}`

Therefore, you get that the rate in feet per day is the following:

`(0.25(in)/(h))((1ft)/(12in))((24h)/(1d))=((0.25in)(1ft)(24h))/((1h)(12in)(1d))=0.5(ft)/(d)`

Hence, the answer is:

`0.5(ft)/(d)`
