Question

If Marcella stands 1 m tall at the beginning of the day then picks up five grow rocks and five shrink pebbles how tall will they be

Answer 1

Marcella will be 125 cm tall after picking up five grow rocks and five shrink pebbles.

Step-by-step explanation:

• To find out how tall Marcella will be after picking up five grow rocks and five shrink pebbles, we need to know the height change caused by each type of pebble.
• Let's assume that each grow rock increases Marcella's height by 10 cm, and each shrink pebble decreases her height by 5 cm.
• So, the total increase in height due to the grow rocks is 5 * 10 cm = 50 cm, and the total decrease in height due to the shrink pebbles is 5 * 5 cm = 25 cm.

• To calculate Marcella's final height, we can add the total increase and subtract the total decrease from her initial height of 1 m (which is equal to 100 cm).
• Final height = Initial height + Total increase - Total decrease = 100 cm + 50 cm - 25 cm = 125 cm.

• Therefore, Marcella will be 125 cm tall after picking up five grow rocks and five shrink pebbles.
