Answer:
The tree grew 15/64 meters per year.
Explanation:
Given
- Length of a tree = 3/4 meters
- Total time taken by the tree to grow 3/4 taller = 3 1/5 or 16/5 years
To determine
Per year growth of the tree in meters
Per year growth of the tree in meters can be determined by dividing the total length of a tree i.e. 3/4 meters by the total time taken by the tree to get 3/4 taller.
Per year growth of tree = Total Length / Total time to grow
= 3/4 ÷ 16/5
= 3/4 × 5/16
= [3×5] / [4×16]
= 15/64 meters
Therefore, the tree grew 15/64 meters per year.
