Question

A person's hair is 8 centimeters long. The equation below can be used to estimate the length (L), in centimeters (cm), that the person's hair will be after (w) weeks.L = w/4 + 8Based on the equation, what will be the estimated length of the person's hair after 10 weeks?A. 4.5 cmB. 8 cmC. 10 cmD. 10.5

Answer 1

L = w/4 + 8

where

L is length

w are weeks

To estimate the length of the person's hair after 10 weeks you have to replace w = 10 into the equation, as follows:

L = 10/4 + 8

L = 5/2 + 8

L = 21/2 = 10.5

The length will be 10.5 cm
