Ms. Felter was keeping track of her plant's height. She first measured it when it was 3.2 inches tall. The next time she measured it, it had grown 2.33 inches, and the following time it had grown 1.192 inches. What has its height after the third measurement?

Answer:

6.722 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The plant's height on the first measurement = 3.2 inches

To determine the height after the third measurement, add the growth to the initial height:

Thus, its height after the third measurement:


\begin{gathered} =3.2+2.33+1.192 \\ =6.722\text{ inches} \end{gathered}

Its height after the third measurement is 6.722 inches.
