Question

A gum tree reached a height of 150 ft in 15 years. Cathy and Darla write different equations to find the yearly average growth g of the tree. Cathy writes 15g=150 Darla writes 150/15=g Do these equations have the same solution? Explain.

Answer 1

Answer: Yes

Explanation:

according to Darla 150/50= g

therefore g= 30

hence cathys equation 15*g=150 is correct when Darla equation is considered

15*30= 150
