Question

A plant grew 14 inches tall if it grows 3 inches per year how many years will it take to reach a hight of 38 inches

Answer 1

It will take 8 years.

Explanation:

If the plant is already 14 inches and you want it to grow up to 38, then we subtract 14 from 38 and then divide the answer by 3 because in each year the plant will grow 3 inches, so then you get 8, which is the numbers of years.

38 - 14 = 24

24/3 = 8
