Question

A plant grew 17 inches over 5 mouths the plant grows the same amount each month. Use this rate to complete the table. Complete the table that is shown.

Answer 1

We have the following:

We calculate the number of inches per month as follows:

`(17in)/(5m)=3.4(in)/(m)`

therefore:

`\begin{gathered} 1month\cdot3.4(in)/(m)=3.4in \\ 2month\cdot3.4(in)/(m)=6.8in \\ 3month\cdot3.4(in)/(m)=10.2in \\ 4month\cdot3.4(in)/(m)=13.6in \\ 5month\cdot3.4(in)/(m)=17in \\ 6month\cdot3.4(in)/(m)=20.4in \end{gathered}`

The table is:

Month Growth (inches)

1 3.4

2 6.8

3 10.2

4 13.6

5 17

6 20.4
